COVID-19 is not hoax, Okowa tells Deltans
Delta Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, has raised the alarm over the increasing cases of COVID-19 in the state.
“Therefore, I want to make a passionate appeal to all Deltans to please realise that the coronavirus disease is real,’’ he said.According to him, “On Thursday, June 25, 2020, Delta State recorded 106 cases, coming only behind Lagos, the epicentre of the pandemic. The latest figure from the National Centre for Disease Control shows that on Friday, June 26, Delta recorded 66 additional cases.
“We made this decision with all sense of responsibility while counting on your partnership with the Government to defeat this virus. Regrettably, it does appear our people have not taken this matter as seriously as they should. “It is very worrisome that many of our people still walk the streets without wearing a face mask or even observing physical/social distancing.’’
“The number of guests at social events – weddings, funerals, traditional marriages – should not exceed 50 with appropriate physical distance set in place. People without face masks must be turned back. I also implore our religious houses to implement all the safety protocols as agreed.
