The Osun State government says the new case of coronavirus recorded in the state 'sneaked in' from Kano.
The state’s Commissioner for Health, Rafiu Isamotu, in a statement on Saturday in Osogbo said the new case sneaked in to Iwo area of the state before the COVID -19 taskforce was alerted.
“The COVID-19 confirmation test for one suspected case came back positive on Friday out of the 14 samples we sent for testing at NCDC accredited testing centre during the week. Mr Isamotu said that a total of 434 tests had been conducted at the NCDC accredited testing centre in Ede, adding that more tests were ongoing.
He also urged them not to accomodate anyone from outside the state at this time, saying that it was dangerous to do so.“I am appealing to all the residents of the state to always be on the alert, take charge and report any suspected case by calling our COVID-19 hotlines.
