Ondo State #COVIDー19 Index Case Update:
The index case is a military officer who was a returnee from India. He has been in isolation since he returned and has been monitored by the medical team of the Military and our state team throughout this period.

Upon showing some symptoms, his samples were taken and the diagnosis confirmed by
@NCDCgov at their lab in Ede. We have now commenced the transfer of the officer to the state isolation center.

We have setup a #COVIDー19 Response Fund to raise much needed resources to help with our efforts. We are glad to have the folks from @EYnews provide advisory services and @SIAONIGERIA as our official auditors ALL PRO BONO. This is ensure the funds are spent judiciously.
