The Chief Medical Director of the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Professor Jesse Otegbayo, has tested negative to COVID-19.
Otegbayo had tested positive to the virus last week.
According to Toye Akinrinola, the Head of Public Relations Unit of the hospital, the last test on his blood sample was negative.
Akinrinola said that the CMD may have contracted the virus through Board meetings of the hospital held from Monday to Wednesday last week.
The week-long meetings were suspended on Thursday after some members showed symptoms of COVID-19.
He was among the eight confirmed cases in Oyo State as at Wednesday April 1.
The Provost of the College of Medicine and his deputy have also tested positive for the virus and have since placed themselves in self-isolation.
