We have just confirmed the third case of COVID19 in Delta State. The patient, a male, was diagnosed today in Asaba, our state capital and is currently being managed by our healthcare professionals in one of our isolation centers.

The patient is currently in a good state and responding to treatment; and we have already began to track all those that have had contact with him.

The confirmation of this third case further reinforces our call for social distancing and a lockdown. All Christians should worship at home tomorrow.

Again, I thank you all for your cooperation over these past few days, and I will continue to keep you all updated on any new developments. Governor Okowa further stated that the delta state residents should ignore any news saying the quarantine was relaxed for Sundays service as it should be sent from the state Secretary .
