"Any official(s) found culpable will also be dealt with accordingly and implored members of the public to discountenance the alarm being raised.

"We will continue to do everything to protect the lives of our citizens in this fight against Coronavirus.”

The Chief Press Secretary to Osun State Governor, Ismail Omipidan has now confirmed that the woman who was declared missing after the head count was conducted has been apprehended. She was returned to the facility by the police on Saturday afternoon.

Omipadan further disclosed that the government is investigating her movement around the community with a view to tracing anyone who might have had contact with her. 
 
He said; 

"It is true that a patient, a woman escaped from the isolation centre, but she has been apprehended and returned to the facility.
"Presently, we are investigating her movement to enable us to initiate contact tracing with anyone she might have contacted to avoid community spread of the deadly pandemic."
