“We are very optimistic that the testing kits, reagents and other materials to be used will arrive Ekiti next week.”
When in place, the laboratories would serve as places where suspected Coronavirus infected patients could be tested without having to wait for higher authorities any longer.
According to her, the facility is to be provided by Governor Kayode Fayemi in partnership with well-meaning Ekiti indigenes and other private sponsors who had offered to help. “We are very optimistic that the testing kits, reagents and other materials to be used will arrive Ekiti next week,” she said.
She said that some people who came into the state illegally and those who are manifesting signs, had been picked, and are being quarantined while their blood samples are being taken on daily basis. “Burial can be done in Ekiti, but this is upon getting approval and it has to be done in compliance with social distancing directive and with such gathering, not more than 20 people are expected,” she said.
“I can assure you those caught are being profiled and made to face the Magistrate, among other consequences,” he said.
