The Chairman, Expert review Committee on Covid-19, Prof. Oyewale Tomori, in an interview with our correspondent, said “While I am sad, I will not say I am surprised, this was bound to happen. I am particularly concerned about Akwa-Ibom State. I have been monitoring their figures these past days and I have not been comfortable, the sad thing about it is that they are not even on red alert.
“The people they have infected will not know they have been infected and hence they will go and infect other people.
He said “Now that we even have doctors going on strike, I don’t want to say we are looking at a disaster. People need to understand that using face masks, obeying COVID guidelines is not for other people but for themselves. This is the only way we can preserve lives.”
