Ondo State government has said 106 cases of Lassa Fever and eight deaths have been recorded in the state this year.
Prof. Francis Faduyile, Special Adviser to the governor on Health, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Akure.
“Between Jan. 1 and Jan. 23, we have had 268 suspected cases of Lassa Fever, 106 confirmed cases and unfortunately eight deaths,” Faduyile said. “The first way to prevent Lassa is to stop bush burning, and we have sensitised against this,” he said.“We have observed that some of our cultural activities like spreading cassava on the road to dry are harmful because rats can come around eat out of the cassava and drop faeces or urine on it.
