75 People Quarantined As Kwara Locks Down Offa Over Coronavirus Contacts

Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State has said 75 persons, including 28 staff of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, were receiving attention at the state isolation centre, Sobi Specialist Hospital, Ilorin.

This followed the confirmation on Monday by the National Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, that wife of UITH patient, Late Muhideen Obamomo, was positive for Coronavirus.

The governor, during his live broadcast Tuesday, said: “We received official report from the NCDC of samples earlier taken to the Ibadan test centre. The test confirmed that Kwara State now has two cases of COVID-19. The first is the wife of a man who recently returned from UK”. 

He said the second case was a diabetic patient who also had a travel history to the UK. “He came into the country on March 18. He has since gone into self-isolation with his wife. Following reasonable suspicion, sample was taken from him and he has now been confirmed positive."

The state is tracing more contacts and has locked down Offa to contain the spread.
