The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Olisa Ifeajika, last week Friday, disclosed that Okowa’s daughter had tested positive for COVID-19.
He added that the governor and his family members had immediately gone into self-isolation for 14 days.
It will be recalled that the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Mr Chiedu Ebie, and the state’s Commissioner for Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu, tested positive for the virus weeks ago.
Both officials were reported to have shown mild symptoms of the virus and consequently subjected themselves to the test.
They were moved to an isolation centre where they were reported to be stable and responding to treatment.
Delta now has 965 confirmed cases of COVID-19.
