Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State has tested negative for coronavirus.

He made this statement as the results of his test came back from the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, Friday.

Agreeing that the COVID-19 virus is real, he stressed the need to work together to contain the virus.

I just received my test result from NCDC and it is negative. Thanks to all for your concern. This, however, calls for continued vigilance on the part of everyone. Covid-19 is real and we cannot afford to be complacent. JKF

35 of his colleagues and his wife had gone into self-isolation, after she was reported to have arrived Nigeria from the United Kingdom on March 19.
