COVID-19: Ortom Orders Benson Abounu, His Deputy To Undergo A Test by fergie001: 5:04pm On Mar 28, 2020
The Benue State Government on Saturday confirmed its first case of the novel coronavirus disease otherwise known as COVID-19.

Governor Samuel Ortom disclosed this while briefing journalists in Makurdi, the state capital, shortly after the announcement by the Nigeria Center for Disease Control.

He gave the name of the patient as “Susan Okpe”, who returned from the United Kingdom, adding that the state action committee had already commenced contact tracing of about eight persons.

The governor explained that he disclosed the identity of the patient so that those who had made contact with her could take the necessary steps.

He said the patient is presently being managed at the State Treatment Centre located at State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi.

The governor said he had ordered his deputy, Benson Abounu, to be tested for coronavirus.

He said 70-year-old Abounu was at a recently held National Economic Council meeting in Abuja.

The PUNCH reports that two attendees at the meeting tested positive for coronavirus.

He said, “We are already tracing of all those Susan Okpe came in contact with.

“In addition, samples of two other ladies have been collected but one among them turned to be negative to the virus.

“I have also told my deputy governor to go for a test having returned from the National Economic Council meeting in Abuja even though he told me that he had no close contact with those suspected to have contacted the virus."

I want to understand something, I thought there was something called patient confidentiality? or is this because it is a special case?

Thanks to all those that responded to my inquiry

Getting tested for the virus is the sensible thing to do, and there is no shame if your result come our positive.
Bubu has decided to disgrace all zombies by giving Nigerians fake result for COVID -19, after he has presented NEPA bill as certificate previously.

What's up with Bubu and fake results sef?

Stupid Governor, why release the name of the positive test. That's a medical record that only the patient can make public. The woman will be stigmatized from now on.

Not a good enough excuse.

Please if you know you in any way had contact with the said Susan Okpe within recent times, please submit yourself for testing angry

The Governor did well by naming her so that persons who know her and contacted her can come in for testing...

Adding her picture will be much nicer too...I have done a Facebook search of Susan Okpe and there are 3 ladies with same name who fit the profile...I would advice you guys do yourself some good and do a Facebook search as well to determine if you have contacted any of them..

Stay safe

And one pumpkin of a president is somewhere hidden when governors are leading at the front. What kind of leader will hide when the house is on fire. I think this will open everyone eyes to know the danger we are living in by voting these senseless people into power. We are at the mercy of God.

How is it that all of them returning have the virus?

Why are they returning when they are likely to get better medical care over there?

I wonder.

When they are enjoying they remain there and enjoy alone but when they are afflicted they remember home.

In sickness and affliction we become the saner clime.

Peter Obi needs to go to China.

He used the whole of China to campaign in the last election and it's a time to show solidarity.

I remember Peter Obi that year, any small thing, E must relate it with China.

Good move.
This will make those that have contacted the victim to check themselves and stop spreading too.
FG should take a cue from these

The identities of victims somehow needs to be revealed, so that people that have come in contact with them will know and report to the nearest medical centers.
