However, Makinde announced on Wednesday May 6th, that one of the absconded patients had been located.
‘We also have a further update on the two absconded cases reported earlier today. They absconded before being admitted to any of our isolation centres. After intensive contact tracing, one of them has been found and admitted to the IDC, Olodo.’ he said.
