Ekiti COVID-19 Index Case Recovers, Discharged
The Ekiti State government, on Tuesday, announced that the only Coronavirus index case recorded in the state has recovered and discharged.
Dr Mojisola Yaya-Kolade, the state commissioner for health, while briefing journalists in Ado-Ekiti, said that the index case, who had been in isolation, was discharged after he had fully recovered.
“He has now tested negative. Everything is normal; we cannot continue to keep him.
“What we told him was that when he gets home, he should still self-isolate and that if he is going out, he should wear face mask” she said.
The commissioner, however, said that all the contacts, who are still in isolation, will remain there for the prescribed 14 days, adding, that all of them are stable and without any symptom.
Yaya-Kolade said the female care-giver of the late American, who had been in isolation, has also undergone tests for three times and all returned negative.
