Orisajo however, issued a statement on Sunday saying “a two and half years old girl has tested positive for the novel coronavirus at the Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta.
”
He explained that the girl was admitted into the facility last week Sunday on account of breathlessness.“Due to the persisted high temperature, she was isolated, hence no member of staff or other patients were unduly exposed. “To confirm the initial suspicion by a team of caregivers, on the third day, she was screened for coronavirus while her treatment continued.“The girl is already receiving treatment at the Centre’s isolation ward while the facility where she was initially admitted has been decontaminated.”
