The development is coming five days after one of their
daughters tested positive for the disease.
The governor and his wife went into isolation following the
confirmation of their daughter’s case.
Olisa Ifeajika, Okowa’s spokesman, asked residents to follow
guidelines provided by the ministry of health and the Nigeria Centre for
Disease Control (NCDC).
“Citizens are advised to be disciplined and comply with the
protocols of wearing Face Masks and maintaining physical-distancing while in
public places as well as basic hygiene of hand-washing with soap in running
water and use of alcohol-based sanitisers as NCDC regulation demands,” Ifeajika
said in statement last week.
So far, 965 cases of COVID-19 have been recorded in Delta.
The state has the seventh highest number of cases in the country.
The country has recorded 25,694 cases of the disease
according to figures provided by NCDC.
On Tuesday, Ondo Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, announced that he tested positive.
