COVID-19 patients flee Oyo, Niger and Bauchi states

Two COVID-19 patients receiving treatment in Oyo state as well as one each in Niger and Bauchi states have fled from isolation centres.

Oyo state governor Seyi Makinde said the two people who ran away in the state tested positive to the deadly virus.

He said 975 samples had been collected for test.

The governor said the two fleeing patients brought the number of active cases in the state to 31 instead of 33.

Makinde announced the escape of the patients while giving an update on the state’s covid-19 figures in a series of tweets on his twitter handle.
