JUST IN : COVID-19 has caught up with me – Buhari’s minister

One of the ministers in the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration, Muhammad Bello, on Friday said he has contracted COVID-19.

Bello, who is the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, in a post on his official Facebook page, said he contracted the virus in the last few days.

He said : “After a hide and seek period spanning 21 months (1yr 9 months) between COVID-19 and my humble self, the virus finally caught up with me during the dying days of 2021. After feeling unwell from 28th December, I decided to do a COVID-19 test yesterday morning.

“The result came out positive this morning. Currently doing fine, with some sore throat, feverish feeling and mild running nose. Undertaking treatment and isolation at home.

” I salute and wish all the medical personnel in the FCT and beyond who have been in the front line fighting this pandemic a happy and prosperous new year 2022. I pray for the quick recovery of all of us currently afflicted with COVID-19.

” I have been informed by the experts that my case is mild because I took two shots of the COVID-19 vaccine. I appeal to all those who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 to do so. Thanks and Happy New year to all.”

PlatinumPost reports that there has been a surge in COVID-19 cases following the recent discovery of the Omicron variant, which is said to be easily transmitted.
