These Politicians have Gone Into Self-Isolation over Coronavirus

As the coronavirus continues to spread in Nigeria, it has also managed to make its way into the corridors of power, and a couple of political figures have announced that they have contracted the bug.

Because they have been within close proximity of each other, so many other politicians have shared that they are going into self-isolation to avoid spreading it to others.

These politicians have gone into self-isolation:

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo

Following his close contact with the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Muhammed, and Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, who have both tested positive for coronavirus, the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has gone into self-isolation.

I have gone into self-isolation and sent in my samples for testing after 2 persons I came in contact with tested positive for #coronavirus. I am taking this precaution to protect people that may otherwise come in contact with me. I urge my colleagues to get tested too.

Another person that is taking precautionary measures against the spread of coronavirus is Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State.

Fayemi announced via his Twitter that he is now in self-isolation after attending meetings with two persons who have tested positive for the deadly virus.

I just took a CoviD 19 test, having gone into self isolation since yesterday evening. I'm asymptomatic and feel well, but I was in meetings with two people who had since tested positive. I look forward to an all clear and have encouraged all my colleagues to take the test. JKF
