COVID-19: OGUN UNVEILS FOOLPROOF SAMPLE COLLECTION METHOD IN OTA TESTING CENTRE

The Ogun State Government has unveiled the method it is adopting for sample collection at its drive-through testing centre in Ota.

This occurred during a tour by concerned leaders in the State, including the Hon. Commissioner for Forestry, Hon. Tunji Akinosi and leaders of the State House of Assembly.

It was explained by the tour guide that the method was adopted so that the risk faced by health workers is reduced to the minimum.

She demonstrated how a health worker would go into a protective glass box and collect samples from suspected cases with fixed gloves that are sanitised by a hygienist after each sample is taken for further transfer to the State's molecular laboratory.

She disclosed that the protective glass box had two primary advantages.

"The advantage of this is that the healthcare practitioner does not come in contact with the patient. Number one.

"Number two: If you are testing outside (the box), then you have to wear full PPE with boots. That cost can be up to like N50,000, and you also have to change it with each patient. So if you are testing 50 patients, that is 50 times 50," she explained.

Good for them, safety first...

But watch how the cases will skyrocket. More testing, more covid-19 cases

Same thing happened immediately Lagos state launched more covid-19 test centres..

My candy advice is, don't visit that the tests centres if you don't have symptoms. Call first verify you symptoms and book an appointment..

covid-19 is not a death sentence people recover from it, stay healthy..!

All these half updates.

This is very commendable

hmmm that is good to hear, but the rate at which they do the testing is too low

Who wrote this news?

Youruba amaka

More tests are actually needed to be done. We are far behind schedule.
Test centre opens, canaan land closed.
Science 1-0 Religion

Nice. Other states should emulate this. The risk our health workers are facing is too much.

Good

It's collection center not testing center...

Interesting.

Really not trying to be cynical, but this isn't and shouldn't be news...

These are things that ought to have been in place long before the first lock down was announced...

Why all these media grandstanding?! Do the damn job you were elected to do, and spare us this paparazzi!!!

Nicely done

Omo ogun ise ya

Lagos should already borrow a leaf from them.
Hunger sef

This is a welcome development. But they should add Amotekun to fight COVID19

Hope they also put in place plans to control overcrowding so that people won't infect theirselves too..let's get it done and over with this virus and everyone get back to work

okay, we're watching..

That's a welcome development

Test collection centers are good but we need to validate rapid testing kits as soon as possible to be able to isolate more positive cases and catch up with the spread.

Good day nairalanders. I've been an avid reader on this platform and I've seen the Goodwill of people on here. Please, I am in need!! I've no means to get money or foodstuff, Please any good Samaritan can ask for my account details. God bless

Good gesture...
