Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki, has tested negative for the ravaging coronavirus epidemic but will remain in self-isolation.
Crusoe Osagie, his spokesman who made the disclosure in a statement, said the result is that of the rapid diagnostic test, while the result of the PCR test is being awaited.
Osagie said: “I can confirm that the governor tested negative for coronavirus when he ran the rapid diagnostic test for the virus. However, we are currently awaiting the result of a more conclusive PCR test.”
“In the meantime, the governor has decided to continue to work in self-isolation and he is asymptomatic,” he added.
Governor Obaseki went into self-isolation on Wednesday after coming in contact with two persons who tested positive for coronavirus.
