Kayode Fayemi, Ekiti state governor, has tested positive for
COVID-19 — after a third test.
Fayemi, who is the chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum
(NGF), disclosed his COVID-19 status on Twitter on Wednesday.
“I took my third Covid-19 test yesterday and it came back
positive. I’m generally ok and I’m already self isolating at home and receiving
the best of care from my medical team. I’m delegating critical tasks to my
Deputy but will continue routine duty from home,” the post read.

Fayemi joins a list of governors who have tested positive
for the virus, including Seyi Makinde of Oyo; Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo; Okezie
Ikpeazu of Abia, and Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna.
It is not clear how the governor contracted the virus but he
had held series of meetings within and outside Ekiti state over the past two
weeks, although in observance of physical distancing guidelines as provided by
the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
As of July 21, 2020, a total of 86 people had been confirmed
positive for the coronavirus in Ekiti, out of which 47 recoveries and two
deaths have been recorded.
