On-air personality, Tolu Demuren, also known as Toolz took
to her Twitter handle to reveal that she and her hubby, Captain Tunde Demuren,
tested positive for the novel Coronavirus.
Toolz made this known in a series of tweets on her account
on Tuesday.
She also revealed that her greatest worries were her
children who were fortunately not affected by the virus.
According to her, they have both been retested and the new test results came back negative.
“Feeling super thankful to God today! This time last month,
we were going through a very scary period!
“Almost everyone in our house (including myself) tested
positive for COVID-19.
“I was just about to return to work after my maternity, and
it all started with Captain complaining of ‘malaria-like’ symptoms.
“He had taken a COVID-19 test a few days before which was
negative, so I thought it was a bad case of malaria.
“However, he was admitted with malaria and a bacterial
infection after being given intravenous antibiotics and other meds he still
wasn’t getting better.
“I decided to move him to a different hospital, and they
tested again, and he ‘blew up’ the test according to the doctor.
“My body went cold, and my first thought was ‘OMG the
babies!!’. Then a short while later, I thought about myself. I did a rapid
test, and it was positive.
“Neither of us initially had the common symptoms- no
coughing, no breathing issues…although I later lost my smell and taste.
Captain was in the hospital for a week and this was around
the time of the Lekki shooting, so I was doubly terrified.
“My main fear was the babies especially our youngest son as
he was just about 3 months old. We didn’t test them, but I was certain they had
COVID too as we literally kiss and cuddle our boys every day.
“Thank God our babies were perfectly fine. I was generally
ok too, just scared. Once you get that positive result, you get all these
random symptoms you didn’t have before.
“The weirdest thing was the taste and smell thing.
Everything Captain had tasted bad, he’s a foodie so that was strange. One of my
superpowers is my sense of smell and it just gradually faded.
“After 2 weeks we all retested and were all thankfully
Negative. Thanks to Almighty God for seeing us through, a big thank you to the
doctors that looked after us especially Dr Majekodunmi of Eurocare for the
constant reassurance, and for taking my a million and one calls
“I’m super thankful I didn’t get it while I was pregnant.
Imagine I travelled to have my baby, came back, did 7 COVID tests, and it was
the 8th that was positive.
“The craziest thing was that a week before I legit told
someone that there’s no COVID in Lagos anymore. Silly me,” she said.
