Edo to publish names of COVID-19 patients refusing isolation –Obaseki
Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has threatened to start publishing names of persons who test positive to the COVID-19 and refuse being taken for treatment at the state’s 500-bed isolation centres.
“When you isolate at home, there is a higher likelihood that other people will be infected especially our elderly parents and grandparents thereby further perpetuating community transmissions and spread with grave public health implications,” he said. “We frown against this selfish behaviour and henceforth, we will be publishing a list of persons who refuse to isolate in our isolation and treatment centres. Data clearly shows that there is now a large-scale community spread with the elderly persons being the most affected.
