The Anambra State government says Governor Willie Obiano is in self quarantine.
Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Prof Solo Chukwulobwlu and the Governor’s Chief of Staff, Mr.Primua Odili made the confirmation Monday.
They said Obiano has been on self quarantine for 11 days and thus far, has not shown any signs of the disease.
“The governor was at the NEC meeting on Thursday, and you know how the sitting arrangement is, after the Anambra State governor, you get the Bauchi State governor, who has announced his status recently.
“But if you are aware of the sitting arrangement during the meeting, you will find out that they usually observe social distancing. That you are in a hall with a man who has the disease does not mean that you can be infected.
“The governor is a very enlightened person, and because he knows he has been in a meeting with such calibre of people, he decided to go into self-quarantine.
“Obiano is on self-quarantine. I have not seen him for the past one week and we only talk on the phone. We had two hours meeting yesterday (Sunday) using zoom. There is no fears about his health at all,” the officials said.
They also appealed to individuals and corporate organisations to donate to the state government to keep fighting the entry of the virus to the state.
They said about N1billion has already been spent to procure personal preventive equipment (PPE), and that it is not yet enough for a population of seven million in the state
