4 of 50 persons arrested at Kwara Hotel night club test COVID-19 positive

Four out of the fifty people arrested on July 18 at the Kwara hotel night club in Ilorin have tested positive for the coronavirus.

The Chairman, Medical Advisory Committee on COVID-19 in the state, Dr Femi Oladiji, disclosed this to the journalist on Wednesday in Ilorin.

He said, “I have been formally informed that four persons have been confirmed to be COVID-19 positive and they have been informed based on the telephone numbers they submitted.

“If you are told about your result, it is left for you to come or not, we can’t force you. There are so many people out there that are carriers.

“If we have not gone to arrest them, they would have been going about their normal lives.

“The best thing actually at this stage is preventive measures, the thing is so rampant and at the rate at which it is increasing, we can’t hold anybody down except those that have symptoms.

“If you have symptoms, you have to seek medical attention, if you don’t have symptoms, you will believe nothing is wrong with you.”
