Ortom, had through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Terver Akase, announced that his latest COVID-19 test result had returned positive.

“This follows the test results of most of the governor’s close aides who also returned positive in the last few weeks.

Akase said although the governor has not shown any symptoms of the disease, he has already commenced treatment as prescribed by medical personnel.

“He advises those who have come in contact with him in the last couple of days to go for test. The governor says it is equally important that those who came in contact with other persons who have tested positive for the virus should go for a test to ascertain their COVID-19 status.
