His words: “Your Excellency I want to use this opportunity to tell you about the situation report on COVID-19”. Presently, we have recorded 503 confirmed positive cases while 24 health workers have tested positive to the virus and they are being managed at the isolation Centres”.
“The number escalated after yesterday’s result. Our discharged history is at 111 and unfortunately, we have recorded 3 deaths”, he explained.
Responding, Governor Umahi who expressed worry at the increasing number of cases recorded, added that the state would re-evaluate the policies and operations regarding the fight against the virus.
