Eight Staff of the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital in Ogun State OOU, have tested positive for coronavirus, and not twenty as was speculated by the media.
The Chief Medical Director of the Hospital, Peter Adefuye, made this known to newsmen while explaining how the affected laboratory staff voluntarily went for the test and came out positive.
Mr Adefuye noted that they are asymptomatic and they have been asked to self isolate in line with the World Health Organisation WHO and Nigeria Centre for Disease Control NCDC guidelines.
Mr Peter Adefuye maintained that since coronavirus pandemic is at community transmission stage in the country, anyone can contract it regardless of location or position.
He however urged Nigerians to take responsibility and protect their environment.
