Pauline Tallen, Nigeria’s Minister of Women Affairs, has tested positive for COVID-19.

This was contained in a statement the minister issued on Sunday, which she personally signed.

She disclosed that though she was asymptomatic, her test result showed that she was positive.

The statement read, “Following interactions with individuals that later showed asymptomatic signs of COVID-19, I was advised by my medical team to undergo the test and self isolate for observation over the past few days.

“This is to inform the general public that after undergoing a test carried out on me and members of my family, my result returned positive while the results of members of my family were negative.

“Currently, I am asymptomatic and have gone into isolation while receiving treatment.

“Please keep me in your prayers and I implore you all to stay safe and observe all COVID-19 protocols as we grapple with this pandemic. I urge you all to please take responsibility for yourself and family in order to protect our dear country even more at this time.”
