The disease can be fatal and it is important that everyone follows all the extant guidelines.

Mr Kawu, while talking to journalists Thursday at the Asokoro District Hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment, explained that his journey to the isolation center began 12 days earlier when he experienced feverish conditions. This prompted him to take the COVID-19 test which turned out to be positive.

In his words “I want every Nigerians, like I’ve always told them in the media, that this thing is real and anybody can be infected, especially those of us that are on the frontline. The disease can be fatal and it is important that everyone follows all the extant guidelines of hand washing or sanitizing, maintain social distancing wearing of facial covering and staying at home.

Speaking on his symptoms and status of his health, Mr Kawu said “I’m happy and I thank my creator that mine was moderate infection. I got some symptoms that were not very severe. I had to be on intravenous drugs for about 10 days. I’m stronger now. Probably they will discharge me anytime soon”.
