The Osun state government on Saturday declared that it has found and returned to isolation centre in Ejigbo area, a COVID-19 patient who had gone missing.
According to Channels Television, the State Commissioner of Information, Funke Egbemode, confirmed the report on Saturday.
It would be recalled that the commissioner had announced that 127 returnees from Cote d’Ivoire were received about a week ago and kept in isolation to avoid community transfer of the virus.
Continuing, she noted that by Saturday morning when a headcount was done, one person could not be accounted for by officials stationed at the Isolation centre.
She also debunked earlier reports that six persons had gone missing.
Egbemode had also assured residents that the person would be found and their contacts traced, to prevent a further spread of the disease.
She also stressed that any official(s) found culpable in the matter will be dealt with accordingly.
