Singer, Peter Okoye of separated PSquare group has revealed that himself, his wife Lola, their daughter Aliona and domestic staff got infected with coronavirus and battled it for over three weeks.
He revealed this in a video posted on Instagram, saying his family has now recovered from the novel virus.
The singer better known of Mr P stated that no one was aware of his health condition because he chose to keep private.
He said;
For the past three weeks, I have been ill and most people did not even know what was wrong with me. I kept it to myself. It has been three weeks of hell for me and my family. I had COVID19 for about three weeks and it happened to me. I was sick and I tested positive.
Mr P explained that he chose to speak up after recovery in order to educate people about the essence of social distancing, getting used to hand sanitizing, disinfecting environment and wearing of face mask.
He added;
It has been hell for this family in this house. Not just me. Even two of my domestic staff. After a week, my daughter caught the virus as well. It was sad that when she caught it, the doctor insisted that she has to be self isolated in her own room but my wife did something very courageous. She said no.
I was sick and I was being self-isolated in my guest room. I could not even see my sick daughter and I was feeling so bad.
I felt so bad because I felt that I was the one who first contracted the virus and passed it on to others in my house. It was so bad that I had to be calling her on video, checking on her.
Mr P stressed;
The next day, my wife did someting very courageous. She picked our daughter from her room, held her and took her to the master bedroom and she called me and she started crying. I asked her what happened and she said she cannot leave their daughter alone, saying she would rather be infected so she can be with her.
He noted that;
Five or six days later, my daughter was pronounced negative but we knew it was not going to end there. The next day, Lola became positive. It has been hell but we had a bad experience.
Encouraging viewers to abide by safety guidelines, the singer said;
I just want to tell everybody that this COVID19 is real. Don’t take it for granted. I am happy to announce that my wife, myself, our daughter and two of our domestic staff all of us are now negative.
