No fewer than 52 persons have completed their 14-day isolation in Oyo State following their suspicion of having coronavirus.
Tests for coronavirus have also commenced at the virology unit of the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan.
A member of the Oyo State COVID-19 Committee Dr Sola Orilowo confirmed this to our reporter in Ibadan, the state capital at the weekend.
Orilowo disclosed that two people, who were still in the government isolation centre, were doing well.
He said 267 persons of interest were in the state out of which 52 have completed their isolation period.
Nine persons, including Governor Seyi Makinde, tested positive for the virus.
The persons of interest are those that have had contact with the nine people who tested positive and others outside the state.
Orilowo said the UCH test centre started testing samples on Friday, adding that samples were no longer being sent to Lagos.
Governor Makinde had announced last Thursday that the centre would handle samples from Oyo, Ogun and Kwara states.
