The Provost, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, and his deputy have both tested positive for the coronavirus.

Public Relations Officer of University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Toye Akinrinlola, confirmed this in a telephone interview with newsmen on Sunday.

The Chief Medical Director (CMD) of UCH, Prof. Jesse Otegbayo, had earlier on Twitter revealed news of contracting the virus.

However, Provost of the College of Medicine, Prof. Oluwabunmi Olapade-Olaopa, in a statement on Sunday, said that he and his deputy, Prof. Obafunke Denloye, also tested positive for the ravaging virus.

“I wish to inform you that the Deputy Provost and I tested positive for the COVID-19 following tests done on Friday,” the statement read.

“Although we are both asymptomatic, we have gone into self-isolation for 14 days whilst our contacts are being observed closely to determine if they should also be tested.”
