And for those who still do not believe that the virus is real, she prayed that they “don’t experience it to believe.”
She continued, “If you ever feel ill during this pandemic, please know there’s nothing to fear or be ashamed of. You’re not alone.
“Please get tested immediately, it could save your life. Many have had COVID-19 and treated it as fever, malaria, etc and luckily they’ve been fine (note that symptoms are different and viral loads vary).
“However, a problem with that is they have probably gone on to infect others since they were not monitored or guided.”
On preventive measures, Omotola advised people to observe physical distancing, wash their hands regularly, wear a face mask, and take vitamins and zinc daily.
