The Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Prof. Jesse Otegbayo is one of the victims of COVID-19 in Nigeria.

He just tested negative for the second time on Wednesday after several days in self-isolation. In this interview with, Otegbayo shares his experience as a coronavirus patient and the psychological toll it took on his family and friends.Before the result where I tested negative came, I was in self-isolation for eight days.

I took necessary medications but I did not think at any time that the virus would kill me. I did not manifest any symptom whatsoever before, during and after. In fact, there was no difference in my health status. Fortunately, I was told that my viral load, which is the index of severity of the disease, was very low. My CT, which is an index of immunity, was also on the high side. So they told me that the two factors may have been responsible for why I did not have symptoms.

For those who are returning to work after testing negative, their action is not in tandem with the NCDC guidelines. After the second test, you are supposed to stay at home for seven days. In terms of what I took that I will recommend, there is a control study whereby you place some people on a particular treatment for the same illness and you don’t place the other group on the same treatment. You keep the two of them in the two houses at the same time. At the end of the day, you look at whether the people you placed on that medicine are better than the other group who were not placed on it. Then you can come out to objectively say that this drug is good for this ailment.
