Iwu, who did not provide the woman’s details, however, said her twin babies tested negative for the virus.
He, meanwhile, warned people to disregard rumours that COVID-19 was not real in Nigeria, urging Imo indigenes to always comply with precautionary measures put in place by the state government to contain the spread of the virus.
He added that cases of the virus were increasing in the state of late owing to an increase in sample testing.
