The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr Boss Mustapha, and his wife have gone into isolation after some members of their household tested positive for COVID-19.
Mustapha, who is also the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19, confirmed this in a statement on Sunday.
” I would like to inform the general public that some members of my household tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday evening.”
” Although they are currently asymptomatic, they have been isolated and are receiving care in one of the government treatment centres.”
The SGF however noted that he took the test along with his wife and the results came back negative but would remain in self-isolation according to protocols by the health authorities.
Mustapha sought the prayers of Nigerians for his family and urged them to be mindful that the nation was already witnessing an increase in COVID-19 cases across many states.
” I would like to remind all Nigerians that COVID-19 is real. As the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) announced last week, we are recording an increase in cases across several states.
” Please stay safe and protect yourself. Adhere to all public health and safety measures so that we do not lose the gains we have made in the fight against COVID-19, he said.
