FEAR IN ONDO STATE AS SUSPECTED CORONAVIRUS PATIENT ABSCONDS FROM HOSPITAL

There is palpable fear in Ondo State at the moment as a man suspected of having Coronavirus has absconded from the University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital Complex in Ondo Town.

The patient, who was admitted at the Accident and Emergency Unit of the facility, reportedly took to his heels on Saturday evening.

Information before our NewsDesk, and confirmed by a senior consultant at the hospital, has it that the situation was already causing anxiety among some of the medical practitioners at the hospital, who were on duty at the time of the incident.

He noted that though the case was still being suspected, the patient was showing symptoms of the virus.

He said, “The suspected COVID-19 patient is Ehibhanre Hansen, age 26 and was reported to have arrived from Edo State.

“Some of the symptoms presented were nasal discharge, dry cough, body weakness, difficulty in breathing. The patient however, appears stable in face mask and dirty disposable gloves. We should be on the lookout as patient might probably show up anywhere for treatment.”
