Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has revealed in a series of tweets that three members of the Oyo State Executive Council have contracted COVID-19.
However, the three cases had been contacted, and contact tracing had already begun, according to the state Governor.
The governor wrote, “Earlier today, we received COVID-19 confirmation tests for all members of the Oyo State Executive Council.
“Sadly, three tests came back positive, and two were inconclusive so they will need to be retested. The exco members have been contacted and contact tracing has begun. Also, their offices have been closed and will be decontaminated.
“Let me reiterate that COVID-19 is still very much with us. That we are taking steps to re-open the economy does not mean that the virus has disappeared.”
