The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Muhammad Bello, has become the latest high profile Federal Government official to test positive to COVID-19.
Before him, the pandemic had ravaged the Presidential seat with a Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu, ADC and the CSO to the President, contracting it.
Garba has, however, announced his recovery from the virus.
Minister Bello declared his status in a post on his official Facebook page on Friday.
He wrote: “After a hide and seek period spanning 21 months (One year and nine months) between COVID-19 and my humble self, the virus finally caught up with me during the dying days of 2021.
“After feeling unwell since 28th December, I decided to do a COVID-19 test yesterday (Thursday), morning.
“The result came out positive this morning.”
The high-profile contracting of COVID-19 has spread fear among many, considering that all those who have contracted it recently, had their full dosage ( first and second shots) of the vaccine.
The Omicron variant, though not as deadly as the first two variants before it, seems to spread faster than them.
