*Colleagues and comrades, we have a serious case of COVID 19 at hand in Ekiti*

After reading this post from social media, investigations were made and I can confirm that some of the information here are facts.

*I greet us all in the name of Jesus. We have a positive case in Ido now. Pls, let all play safe as we discharge our duty. A gravid woman came in from Lagos, presented at okeyinmi health centre where we learnt she spent three days before being referred to a private hospital. Had cs done in d private hospital after which they thought she developed a spinal shock,; had hypotension and respiratory cessation during d surgery. She was promptly resuscitated and then referred to FETHI for possible intubation and ICU care. The relations shattered a vehicle which conveyed her to FETHI. She was received and admitted in an open ward before being suspected as d condition deteriorated. Hence, NCDC was invited and sample taken. Result came out last night to be positive. Pls, take due precautions while attending to patients. Over 30 staff had direct contact with d patient in FETHI without proper protection. The private hospital has been locked down this morning. Contacts tracing has begun and NCDC has started collecting samples of close contacts. D Lord will keep us all safe ijn.*

Our investigations revealed that some of the staff that were not on duty that day, Easter Monday, boarded the ambulance which was used to convey the patient from the Health Center to EKSUTH then to a private hospital at Dallimore area of Ado-Ekiti up till yesterday.
The ambulance might have been used for another patient(s).
This woman came in from Lagos to Ekiti State. How she managed to find her way into Ekiti despite the security blockages everywhere is still a mystery.
The vehicle that conveyed her from Ado-Ekiti to Ido-Ekiti might have been used for other persons.
All these people would have had contact with one or two other persons.

Why am I writing this is not because of raising unnecessary alarm? AlI wish for us is to keep safe, stay at home.
If you must go out use mask, maintain social/physical distancing.
Wash your hands to the elbow level regularly.
Reduce unnecessary visits to the markets, eateries and other homes.
COVID-19 is real!

Gun powder.. The powder is the virus.
