Coronavirus: Ondo index case is a military personnel

 The first victim of coronavirus in Ondo has been identified as military personnel returning from India.

Ondo State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Wahab Adegbenro, confirmed this on Saturday.

Adegbenro, however, noted that the military personnel had been on voluntary self-isolation since arrival.

He explained that the case was already being monitored, adding that the victim developed symptoms on Thursday.

“His sample was taken for testing and the result came back yesterday positive.

“Immediately, our people moved in for contact listing and they have been asked to stay in self-isolation in the barracks.

“We have also moved the patient to our Infectious Disease Hospital (IDH) facility and he is quite stable. He has been receiving treatment since yesterday; so far, no cause for alarm,” he said.
