2 cabinet members contract COVID-19 as Osun govt declares operation no result, no meeting with Oyetola

Two members of the Osun state cabinet have tested positive to the coronavirus and have already started self isolation and treatment, the Commissioner for Information, Mrs Funke Egbemode has said.

Osun state Governor, Gboyega Oyetola.

Briefing journalists on Wednesday in Osogbo, Egbemode said that the two unnamed cabinet members were discovered to be positive following the order by Gov. Gboyega Oyetola that his commissioners and aides should take the test.

Compulsory test

The status of the commissioner and the special adviser has forced Mr Oyetola to mandate all his cabinet members to take compulsory COVID-19 test to ascertain their status.

It was gathered that the test has also been made compulsory for all drivers in the governor’s convoy, domestic staff, and aides attached to senior government officials.

Mrs Egbemode said Mr Oyetola’s aim was to lead by example by making the test compulsory as she confirmed that two persons’ result truly came back positive.

“The results have returned and only two people returned positive. They have since gone into isolation and commenced treatment. We can confirm that they are stable, and a repeat test will be conducted in a few days to check their progress.”

“Citizens are hereby advised to take personal responsibility for their safety and the safety of others, and this now includes taking the Covid-19 test so as to commence immediate treatment if the result returned positive”, Mrs Egbemode said.
