Dr Fayemi, in a statement on Saturday, said the state was notified of the cases by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
The new cases are primary contacts of the state’s fourth recorded case, a 45-year-old male doctor who carried out surgery on the recently deceased third positive case, during childbirth, the Governor said.
Dr. Fayemi added that the newly confirmed cases are currently stable, asymptomatic, and have been transferred to the state’s isolation centre in Ado-Ekiti.
