The samples were collected from the suspects on Monday at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Yenagoa, for testing at the Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital in Edo State.

Dr Inodu Apoku,  the Chairman of the Implementation Committee of Bayelsa State Task Force On Covid-19, said the results were received on Thursday.

He called on members of the public to continue to be vigilant and report anyone manifesting symptoms of the virus through the appropriate channels so that such persons could be screened.
