The second case of the COVID-19 in the State, who was announced to have died from the pandemic, was a 57-year-old pastor.

He was said to be a Warri-based pastor with his church located in popular area of the city.

The deceased, before being moved to Oghara where he subsequently died, was hospitalised at a popular private hospital in Warri where he spent several days.

He was learnt to have last preached at his church over two weeks ago and died on Wednesday at the isolation centre of the Delta State University Teaching Hospital.

The Governor disclosed on Thursday evening in a post on his verified Twitter handle, saying the deceased who confirmed to have tested positive to the pandemic had underlying health challenges.
He said the case who had visited Lagos in the past two weeks reported to one of the health facilities in the state very late.

Okowa Said:

“I have just been informed of another case of #COVID19 in Delta State. The individual in question, had underlying health issues and had visited Lagos State in the past two weeks.

“The patient presented himself late to one of our hospitals with severe symptoms including difficulty in breathing and was given the necessary attention by healthcare professionals. Shortly after the specimen was taken, he passed away.

However, his test results came back positive today.”
