Following the Covid-19 update of yesterday evening as announced by the NCDC that five of the new cases were from Akwa Ibom, the commissioner for health has rejected in a press release made available to the media. He stated as follows:

AKWA IBOM STATE COVID 19 UPDATE 3.0

Sequel to the news report about the positive testing of 5 hitherto suspected cases of COVID -19 in Akwa Ibom state, we wish to state as follows, that;

1. We observed a disturbing breach in the test and reporting procedure.

2. Akwa Ibom State Government only heard about the test results in the news

3. The Director General of National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) was not aware of the reported result announcement.

4. All 5 reported positive test cases have been contacted and they have showed no COVID-19 symptoms.

5. While the tests were being processed in NCDC approved test facilities, all suspected cases were held in isolation.

6. Several sample batches have been previously sent for testing from Akwa Ibom State and they all returned negative results.

7. Owing to the irregularities observed in the testing and reporting procedure, Health Care Professionals in Akwa Ibom State have called for an immediate reconfirmation test on the 5 reported cases.

8. The results will be made public; following due process

9. Health Care Professionals in Akwa Ibom State have also appealed to the NCDC to ensure that all future tests are conducted following due process in order to maintain continued confidence in the process

10. Residents and citizens are enjoined to remain calm while observing all personal and respiratory hygiene guidelines earlier issued as well as adhere to the social distancing prescriptions.

11. The Enforcement Committee of the Quarantine and Restriction of Movement Regulations 2020 have been mandated to see to the full operation of the provisions of the regulations.

12. The Incident Management committee will continue to meet on a daily basis to review and analyze the situation while updates will be provided as and when due.

Together, we can stop the spread of this pandemic.

Let’s be safe; let’s stay safe.

Okay we can now say the Akwa Ibom Covid-19 result as declared by NCDC is inclusive since the result has been rejected by the government of Akwa Ibom.

But why are they scared After all all the governors have been claiming that they have prepared for Covid-19 so all na audio preparation

A lot of the results are lies

To be candid, I still doubt the credibility of the reports given so far by NCDC. This people are really using this COVID to divert funds.

You guys don't even understand and you are already commenting.

They released statistics on cov19 and declared results from Akwa ibom. How would Akwa ibom have cases and the state govt has no idea abt it?
