COVID-19: Don’t Accommodate Visitors For Now- Oyetola Warns Osun Residents
Osun State Governor Mr Adegboyega Oyetola, has confirmed the death of two patients of CODIV-19 just as he warned citizens against taking visitors for now.
This followed the report of 12 new confirmed cases in the State after almost a two-week lull without reporting any positive cases, one which brought the State close to achieving containment of the spread.
Governor Oyetola, during a press briefing on Sunday, said that the State did what it needed to do in the fight against the pandemic by responding early and reacting strategically when the situation placed a demand on the government.
He blamed the new index case on compromise and disobedience adding that the two fatalities were males with underlying health conditions.
He disclosed further that the newly confirmed cases emerged from Ede, Irewole, Ejigbo and Ife Local Government Areas of the State.
The Governor urged residents of the State to comply with the lockdown directive of the government as well as other precautionary measures, warning that continued breach of the directive would put the State at risk.
