The Federal College of Education, Osiele, Abeokuta, Ogun
state capital, has been shut down following the death of a health worker who
contracted COVID-19.
In a statement on Friday, Adedayo Adebayo, registrar of the
institution, said two other workers at the medical centre also tested positive
for the disease.
He added that the infected workers are already undergoing
treatment.
“A report carried out attributed the cause of death of one
of the medical personnel that transited to immortality lately to complications
that arose from COVID-19,” he said.
“Regrettably, the two other staff of the medical centre
similarly tested positive to the viral infection and have been placed on
isolation and undergoing treatment.
“Arising from this untoward development, it is incumbent on
the college management to immediately close down the college so as to forestall
further spread of the virus.”
He advised everyone who had been in contact with the
affected medical workers to subject themselves to COVID-19 test.
“The college management further advises everyone that has
had recent contact with the affected medical personnel to subject themselves to
COVID-19 test in order to ascertain their health status and to seek necessary
medical intervention,” he said.
“The management condoles with the bereaved family and the
college community and prays that God grants all the succour to bear the
irreparable loss.
“It also prays for the speedy and total recovery of the
affected staff and commits all other staff and students of the College into the
care and protection of the Almighty as we all stay safe to outlive this trying
period.”
