The Nigerian Medical Association in Rivers State has lamented the lack of Personal Protective Equipment for their members in frontline duty in the fight against COVID-19 in the state.
The association also disclosed that 22 of its members, and 60 other health workers in the state, had tested positive for coronavirus, calling on the state to urgently increase the hazard allowance for doctors under the state government employment.
Adebiyi regretted that despite government’s efforts at containing the spread of the virus, the state was still recording high number of cases each day. Adebiyi said, “The number of cases in Rivers State moved from zero, in less than eight weeks, to about 450 confirmed cases with 21 deaths. This is really a worrisome situation.
