Oyo Commissioner for Youth Development and Sports Seun Fakorede has tested positive for COVID-19.
The 28-year-old told The PUNCH he was in isolation to avoid spreading the virus.
Fakorede said he didnโt know how he contracted COVID-19 because he usually takes all necessary precautions.
The Commissioner said: โI tested positive for COVID-19 and I want you to know that thereโs no cause for any panic as Iโm very well, safe and sound without any symptoms/breakdown.
โBefore the test result came in, I had no inkling that I was going to test positive. This was because, despite the demands of the office I occupy, I have been careful since COVID-19 crept into our world โ I took the test just like others and didnโt nurse any fear. I was asymptomatic, I still am, and I remain fearless.
โI have immediately followed and adhered strictly to the directives of the Incident Management for the Oyo State Response to the Coronavirus Pandemic.
โCOVID-19 is not in any way a death sentence โ So, while I acknowledge my principal, Governor Seyi Makinde, for the efforts he has put in place to tackle the pandemic, I want to further urge us all to continue to do everything to minimize the spread of this virus.
