Giving an update on his Instagram page, the commissioner said two COVID-19 tests he recently took still returned positive.
Fakorede added that he remained with no symptoms (asymptomatic) and that his immune system is fighting the virus strongly.
He wrote;
In the spirit of giving you all a honest update about my COVID-19 situation — the two subsequent confirmation tests I have taken came back positive, still. Yet, I remain asymptomatic, with no symptoms whatsoever. Do not panic please — I am very well, hale and hearty. My immune system is fighting this so strongly, I believe.
Fakorede stressed;
I was told by the NCDC personnels that I am not in this alone. So while I do not understand the operation of this virus or why the tests keep coming back positive — I am taking every pound of strength in me to encourage everyone out there with similar cases. Do not be dismayed, we will win.
Quite frankly, COVID-19 is still very much with us, do not let your guards down, this is the time to further intensify your defence against this univiting virus — Follow the COVID-19 Task Force directives.
The commissioner reiterated that the virus is not a death sentence, adding;
Please stay safe, protect yourself, protect those around you. Keep me in your prayers — I wish you an amazing week ahead. Happy Sunday!
