My deputy, Senator Baba Tela, has been confirmed positive to #COVIDー19. Senator Tela contracted the disease in the line of duty as Chairman State Task Force on #COVID19. I commiserate with him, and his family, even as we pray for a speedy recovery.
Also, the Deputy Governor has since been placed in isolation, and medical professionals are properly managing his situation. In addition, primary contacts have immediately been tested by the @NCDCgov, and they have been advised to remain in isolation pending their results.
I urge all residents in the state to continue to adhere strictly to laid down protocols and measures of government in curbing the spread of the dreaded virus.
