“We want to make it very clear that the 15 said persons have nothing whatsoever to do with Cross River State.'' CrossRiver Coronavirus COVID19 Bauchi
Briefing some newsmen yesterday in Calabar, Commissioner for Health and Chairman of the State COVID-19 Respond Team, Dr. Beta Edu, denied such claims, insisting: “There is no coronavirus in Cross River State.”
She said the distance between Cross River and Bauchi states is far and one would have to pass through many states, which are already heavily infected, before reaching Bauchi; hence the possibility of contracting the virus through those states. She expressed the determination of the state government to support the government and people of Bauchi State with facemasks, shields and Personal Protective Equipment to check the upsurge of COVID-19 cases, adding, however: “We understand the pressure, pains and stress our brother, the Governor of Bauchi State, is passing through.
“At this point, we stand with the governor and people of Bauchi State. The governor of Cross River State is offering a hand of fellowship to Bauchi and all other states battling hard to contain the coronavirus.
