The University of Uyo Health Center has been shut down indefinitely following a reported case of COVID-19 in the facility on Monday.
A medical staff, who pleaded anonymity, said the centre was closed down to enable the management carry out a decontamination exercise, having unknowingly admitted a COVID-19 patient.“We were still running skeletal services to help people, especially the pregnant women and women on labour. But the recent experience has made the place unsafe for everyone, so we had to close down for proper decontamination.
An elderly woman, who also arrived at 9am but was turned back lamented “I don’t know how to cope with other healthcare facilities. They understand my situation better, that is why I had to come alone, without any of my children. I just hope Covid-19 would not deny us access to basic healthcare”.
