UCH Chief Medical Doctor Tests Positive For Coronavirus

The Chief Medical doctor, University College Hospital, Ibadan (UCH), Prof Jesse Abiodun Olubanjo Otegbayo, has tested positive for coronavirus.

This was disclosed in a statement personally signed by the CMD.

The Statement reads:

“However, on Wednesday morning, one of us presented with what appeared to be symptoms of covid-19, his samples were immediately taken for test and the meeting called off.

“His results returned positive on Friday morning and every participant (including me) immediately went into self-isolation while our samples were also taken for test.

“Unfortunately, my result returned positive on Saturday afternoon and I remain in isolation as I am not symptomatic. All staff who have been in contact with me and other participants during this period have been advised to immediately proceed on self-isolation pending the time they get tested.

“Covid-19 is spreading faster than we think and I enjoin everyone to take precautions. If one person has it, then a gathering of two becomes dangerous. Stay at home, avoid unnecessary outing and stay safe.”
