Anambra Govt begins aggressive search for people with COVID-19 symptoms, reopens markets others
The governor stated this in a statewide broadcast he delivered on Friday night, saying that this became necessary as the lockdown in the state has been eased.
The governor said: “I am delighted to announce that so far, we have conducted 72 tests, out of which one only returned positive, and that one was the index case who has been treated and discharged. “The NCDC, WHO and UNICEF have assured us of their support to ensure the success of this effort. So, I implore you to cooperate with our specially trained COVID-19 team when they visit your community by giving useful information that will help them to get the necessary samples for testing.”
He added that the state has taken some careful steps to ease the state from lockdown, after five weeks on keeping everyone indoors.
