This with the knowledge that prevention is key to handling the infectious disease. We laid our emphasis on the need to prevent the spread through mass sensitisation and awareness creation.

“We also have screening centres in each of these four facilities where patients can be examined and decisions made whether they will need to go for test or not.

“These centres are manned by experts. We have commenced the process of creating more screening centres with three in each LGA and trainings are currently ongoing in each LGA for the health professionals who will work in these centres,” he stated.

On social distancing,Dr.  Okundia noted that the government has adopted some strict guidelines to prevents further spread of the disease.

Speaking further, he said: Where we are now is enforcement, and we have charged all security agencies to ensure enforcement.
