Also, a team has been deployed to decontaminate the governor’s official residence where his family, domestic staff and close aides may have had contacts with people and items that can be conveyors of the virus.
On Friday, the governor’s wife, Eunice Ortom and their son also tested positive for the coronavirus.
She confirmed this in a statement she personally signed, adding that she has gone into total isolation and has commenced treatment.
