Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, wife of Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has tested positive for coronavirus.
According to a SaharaReporters source, some security aides to Mrs Akeredolu also tested positive for the virus.
The source said;
Unfortunately, her (Mrs Akeredolu) result came back positive with some of her aides today. Health officials have advised them to quickly go on isolation and I am sure they have taken the advice. So, for now, we do not expect the governor and his wife to be seen in public places because we are in danger with the rising cases in the state.
This comes two days after her husband, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu tested positive for coronavirus.
Akeredolu disclosed his COVID-19 status on his Facebook page saying he is already in self-isolation as required by the case management guidelines of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) for any asymptomatic patient.
