The wife and son of Benue state governor, Samuel Ortom, have tested positive for the novel Coronavirus.

Mrs Eunice Ortom who announced this to newsmen on Friday, July 3, said she, their son, and some of her staff tested positive for the virus and have immediately gone into isolation.

She said in a statement “A few moments ago this evening, I received my result from the tests earlier carried out on me by NCDC personnel on routine screening at Government House, Makurdi,  which returned that I, my son, and some staff are COVID-19 positive. We have from this moment, go into total isolation as required by the protocol and would immediately begin the management treatment as advised by medical experts. While I have taken the responsibility to personally call everyone I can recall having had recent contact with me to go for testing, I advise everyone who has had close contact with me in the last 2 weeks and the public to go for screening and testing. I wish to reiterate that being COVID-19 positive is not a death sentence as evident by the many recoveries recorded thus far, so there is no need to panic, but we should continue to be responsible in our actions so as to keep others safe. I am encouraging people to take preventive measures to be protected and be safe by observing the primary protocols. Stay safe!! COVID-19 is real.”
