I am very pained by his death because he should have stayed under treatment. There is no need to run away when you\u2019re confirmed COVID-19 positive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She further advised the public to strictly observe the Covid-19 protocols because the disease is real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will urge those who do not wear the face masks to wear them because the COVID-19 cases are soaring in recent times\u2026 Let\u2019s strictly adhere to all the protocols; use hand sanitizers, wash hands under running water and all the others. Also, if you are confirmed to be COVID-19 positive, don\u2019t deny it.
