Benue Governor, Ortom Tests Positive For COVID-19

Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom has tested positive for COVID-19.

This is coming after test results of most of the Governor’s close aides returned positive in the last few weeks.

Though the Governor is asymptomatic, he has commenced COVID-19 treatment as prescribed by medical personnel.

The Governor confirmed this in a statement posted on his verified Facebook Page.

Read His Statement Below:

This is to confirm that the result of my last COVID-19 test returned positive. Though I have not shown any symptoms, I have already commenced treatment. Let me advise those who have come in contact with me in the last couple of days to go for the test.

It is equally important that those who came in contact with other persons who have tested positive for the virus should go for a test to ascertain their COVID-19 status. I urge Benue people and other Nigerians to continue to observe the protocol for the prevention of the virus.

I encourage the people not to be afraid of going for the COVID-19 test as only doing so would help in containing the spread of the disease.
