Members of Ondo State Special Task Force on COVID-19 have arrested a Coronavirus patient, who escaped from Imo State to Akure in Ondo State.

The patient was apprehended at the popular Oja Oba Market in Akure on Saturday.

The woman was apprehended from where she was selling second-hand clothing inside the market.

Commissioner for Health in Ondo, Dr Wahab Adegbenro, confirmed the arrest of the patient when contacted by SaharaReporters.

He said, "Both the Imo and Ondo governments mounted some surveillance on her and she was eventually picked up today."

Speaking further, Wahab said contact tracing of the patient’s family, friends and neighbours had begun.

He added that those, who might have transacted business with the woman, were already being traced to avoid the community transmission of the virus.

It was gathered that the patient had been isolated at the Infectious Disease Hospital in Akure.

I am tired of these stories

This serious....

Chai for Akure here?? I hope any of my friends didn't go to market today sha. Anyways, covid19 isn't that deadly the way our government paints it. This woman should've stay in isolation center, enjoying free food instead of going to the market to suffer all in the name of selling and thereby sharing the virus. Nawa for people of the world.

We are not ready for this COVID-19. How did she manage to enter Ondo even when there is interstate lockdown? Because the security people are collecting bribe and people keep disobeying the rules. Majority believed that this disease is not in Nigeria. It's high time they eased every lockdown. After all, about 1 person dies out of 10 cases. Let those that believed that the virus is here with us keep on observing precautions and let the others keep believing on their faith.
