COVID-19: UCH doctors go on isolation after contacts with suspected cases

The Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Professor Jesse Otegbayo, made this disclosure on Wednesday.

“As I speak with you, there are some of our doctors who are on self-isolation or quarantine because of exposure to suspected cases. “Initially, we thought we should leave the outpatient department open but we realised that continuing to do that in the absence of enough materials to protect all our staff, including our doctors, nurses and health attendants is not the best option, and the best option will be to lock this place down.”

“I usually call the Accident and Emergency Department a mad house, but we have had to put in some measures to ensure that is not just the staff, but also patients with emergencies are protected.
