The chief medical doctor, UCH, Prof Jesse A. Otegbayo, has tested positive for coronavirus.
This was disclosed in a statement personally signed by the CMD.
The statement reads: โOn Monday 23rd March, we commenced a 12man quarterly board meeting which was meant to last 5 days in the hospital, we observed social distancing and other precautionary measures for covid-19 as much as possible.
โHowever, on Wednesday morning, one of us presented with what appeared to be symptoms of covid-19, his samples were immediately taken for test and the meeting called off.
โHis results returned positive on Friday morning and every participant (including me) immediately went into self-isolation while our samples were also taken for test.
โUnfortunately, my result returned positive on Saturday afternoon and I remain in isolation as I am not symptomatic. All staff who have been in contact with me and other participants during this period have been advised to immediately proceed on self-isolation pending the time they get tested.
โCovid-19 is spreading faster than we think and I enjoin everyone to take precautions. If one person has it, then a gathering of two becomes dangerous. Stay at home, avoid unnecessary outing and stay safe.โ
