Afonja on Fresh FM: “At some point, I had to reach out to the government clinic,” he said.
“I had taken all these anti-malaria medicine. I needed to be tested for maybe COVID-19. I think I was two weeks into these malaria and typhoid I thought I was treating before the test came back to be positive.”
“The symptoms of COVID-19 are similar to that of malaria as well. That’s when I realised I have to keep myself out as soon as possible.”
