Obiano said this in an address to the people of the state on Wednesday.
He said a total of 302 samples had been collected from Anambra by Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), out of which 230 results were released and 53 returned positive.
He said 13 patients had been discharged and 31 cases still active while seven patients were receiving treatment at the moment.
The governor said the cause of seven out of the nine deaths were confirmed through postmortem tests as the patients did not go to the treatment centres while they were still alive.
He said most of the deceased were 60 years and above with just one of them being 24 years of age.
“In other words, they did not come to our Protective Care Centre for professional management.
“This is why I must warn that delay is often dangerous in the management of COVID-19 cases.
“People who show symptoms of this deadly virus are advised to report their conditions early as it increases their chances of surviving this pandemic.
