Kyari: I’m Yet to Have Any COVID-19 Symptoms

Pat Stevens/

The Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, today said he was yet to have any symptoms a week after testing positive for coronavirus.

This was contained in a press release he personally signed, a copy of which was shared on the Twitter handle of the Presidency, @NGRPresident, today.

Kyari said he had been working from home since he tested positive last week and would soon resume work.

The letter readS in part, “I am writing to let you know that on medical advice, I will transfer to Lagos later today for additional tests and observation. This is a precautionary measure: I feel well, but last week, I tested positive for coronavirus, the pandemic that is sweeping the world. I have followed all the protocols the government has announced to self-isolate and quarantine.

“I have made my own care arrangements to avoid further burdening the public health system, which faces so many pressures. Like many others that will test also positive, I have not experienced high fever or other symptoms associated with this new virus and have been working from home. I hope to be back at my desk very soon.”
