COVID-19: Commissioner alerts citizens over possible community spread in Ekiti

The commissioner said the fear stemmed from the startling and disturbing revelations from the 153 samples screened at the molecular laboratory opened on Monday, June 22, out of which 142 were negative, with 11 turning out positive.

Reeling out the statistics of work done at the Molecular laboratory, the Commissioner said: “Out of 246 samples taken, 153 results have already been screened, 142 were negative while 11 were positive.“Our fear is the possibility of community spread in Ekiti because we could not trace all the contacts and the present statistics reveal that we had 7.189 percent, which is the highest in recent time”.

“Our people should endeavour to use sanitizers and wash their hands with soap. With the way things are going, nobody knows when this COVID-19 will end and occasional inexplicable death may happen and when it happens, we must report to any of the health facilities around us. “We need to fortify our borders despite the fact that not all the cases we had had were through border incursion in the 17 border towns that we have in Ekiti.
