Source is a multi-author Open COVID Journal article (Afolabi et al.); this sentence is article text, not a verifiable single-author quote by Badru K.

The source URL is fetchable and does contain this wording in the article body of a paper published on March 9, 2026, although in the source the sentence continues with "(While ... )" rather than ending with the submitted period. More importantly, the paper is credited to many individual authors; K.O. Badru is listed as only one coauthor, so this cannot be verified here as a single-author quote attributed just to "Badru K."
