The Chairman of DAAR Communications Plc, Raymond Dokpesi Jnr., has tested positive for the novel Coronavirus.
Dokpesi made this disclosure this in a short message to members of staff in Abuja on Monday.
The DAAR Communications Plc Chairman, who has been on self-isolation for the past one week, began feeling ill with symptoms similar to malaria. He also started coughing and as a precaution, reached out to the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, for a test which later turned out positive for the COVID-19 pandemic.
He has been evacuated by the NCDC to the isolation centre at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, for treatment.
Dokpesi also assured members of staff that he still feels strong and hopes to be back soon.
In the message, he said, “ I got a call this morning confirming the result is COVID-19 positive. I am leaving now to the Gwagwalada Isolation Centre for treatment and hope to be back in two weeks. Many of you may have interacted with me during our various meetings and I would advise you to get tested as soon as possible.”
