Residents of Ondo town are currently in fear as three policemen attached to Yaba Police Division, in the town including a DPO, have tested positive for COVID-19.

Information gathered stated that they contracted the disease from a female senior colleague who refused to go for testing despite showing symptoms.

The policemen have been admitted at the state Infectious Disease Hospital, Akure, the state capital.

Sources revealed that the female senior police officer resorted to take herbs for treatment rather than go for a test to know her COVID 19 status.

She was exposed by a relative who posted on a WhatsApp platform that her sister has been taking herbs at home to treat herself rather than go to the hospital.
