Following report that Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu may have contracted corona virus, the governor says that he will inform the people of the state about his health status should the need arise as there is no need to panic.
An online news yesterday reported that Akeredolu, is currently in self-isolation to erase any possibility of him contracting Coronavirus.
The governor on Tuesday cancelled all official engagements for 14 days.
According to the report, It was reliably gathered from top government sources that fears that Akeredolu may have contracted the pandemic became rife after the governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, tested positive for the virus on Tuesday.
“The governor (Akeredolu) was in Abuja last week and even met with President Muhammadu Buhari alongside other APC governors in the wake of the dreaded Coronavirus.
“So, he has to take precaution and when the governor of Bauchi tested positive, he has to tactically isolate himself because no one can say if there was close contact during their meeting in Abuja,” a source said.
Akeredolu on Wednesday posted on his Twitter handle that “Let us not cause unnecessary panic please.
We are only being proactive in Ondo State.
We have always tried to be one step ahead of the Virus since it began to spread.
I will personally inform the public about my health status should the need arise. #COVID19”
