COVID-19: Governor Lalong Recovers from Deadly Virus.

The Governor, Simon Bako Lalong of Plateau State, while thanking his people, warned that the virus is still present, and advised Nigerians to self-enforce safety protocols, Lalong has recovered from coronavirus infection, announcing his recovery days after contracting the deadly disease.

The governor who has been in isolation since December 17, attended to by the state’s medical experts. But in a statement on Wednesday, December 23, Lalong declared his test returned negative – a development that ushered in a sigh of relief for the family members and relatives the governor. Salong thanked the people of the state for their unflinching supports and prayers and warned that the virus is still much around.

The governor, while maintaining that COVID-19 is deadly, admonished the people of Plateau state and Nigeria as a whole to observe all protocols for the prevention of infection and transmission.

 He also warned against stigmatization, adding that COVID-19 is not a death sentence as wrongly speculated.

“Having contacted the virus and undergone treatment myself, I wish to reiterate that COVID-19 is not a death sentence as early detection helps to address it and reduce chances of death. “We should not stigmatize anyone who tests positive or is suspected of having the disease. Rather, such people should serve as motivation for others to voluntarily test in order to improve the safety of all”.
