The Commissioner for Youth Development and Sports in Oyo State, Mr Seun Fakorede, has said that he remains asymptomatic as he awaits second test result for the coronavirus disease.
The Ibarapa-born graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University made this known in post on his social media accounts on Saturday.
He thanked well wishers for their prayers and heartfelt concerns.
His words: “Today is day 10 in self-isolation — I took my second COVID-19 confirmation test yesterday. I remain asymptomatic and strong, while I await the test result.
“Thank you all for the prayers and heartfelt concerns. I love you all.”
Recall that insideoyo.com had earlier reported that Fakorede was among the three state executive council members tested positive for the virus.
He promised that he will fight victoriously with the disease.
His words: “I tested positive for COVID-19 and I want you to know that there’s no cause for any panic as I’m very well, safe and sound without any symptoms/breakdown.
“Before the test result came in, I had no inkling that I was going to test positive. This was because, despite the demands of the office I occupy, I have been careful since COVID-19 crept into our world — I took the test just like others and didn’t nurse any fear.
“I have immediately followed and adhered strictly to the directives of the Incident Management for the Oyo State Response to the Coronavirus Pandemic.
“COVID-19 is not in anyway a death sentence — So, while I acknowledge my Principal, Governor Seyi Makinde, for the efforts he has put in place to tackle the pandemic, I want to further urge us all to continue to do everything to minimize the spread of this virus.
“I will remain in isolation till I fully recover, I will fight this, victoriously — please continue to comply with all the directives of the COVID-19 Task Force. Stay safe!”
