A 57-year-old policeman in Edo has died from complications of Coronavirus, bringing the number of COVID-19 deaths in the state to two.

According to the Commissioner for Health in the state, Patrick Okundia, Edo currently has 15 confirmed cases of COVID-19 of which six are active cases.

He said, “We had an unfortunate situation of a 57-year-old police officer, who passed on yesterday (Tuesday).

“It is not very clear how he got the infection but he developed some illnesses. Initially, there was no evidence of suspicion of Coronavirus disease but when the symptoms started getting worse, he was treated at the police clinic.

“About two days before he died, our surveillance team was called to have a look and it was in that process that they took his sample and sent it to the laboratory, while he continued with his drugs. He was consequently placed on self-isolation.

“However, the result came out positive. Before we could get to his house to move him out, the man had died.”

COVID 19 is no respecter of any uniform man or Guns. Keep all the Hygienic and social distancing measures and it will keep away from from you.

Poorly handled and already shared among his contacts.

Let's hope they'll know from where to begin the contact tracing.

CoronaVirus is not potent in this part of the world. We should stop all these deceit. Our weather does not support such diseases that is why US & others are earnestly waiting for summer for cases to naturally stop and they are talking of second wave of infection in fall/winter. Flu kills over 50 thousand in the US every year's but we don't know that here. Except for those that contracted the disease outside the country, local transmissions are insignificant and not potent. Lockdown has killed and will still kill 1000times more Nigerians than Covid 19. #endthelockdown

[quote author=viccipedia post=88751388]Bororo![/quoteCross River state governor, Prof. Ben Ayade has warned that any further extension of lockdown on the country in response to the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic will spell doom for the country. He said further extension of the lockdown will give rise as to uncontrollable youth restiveness, adding that it was better to lockout than lockdown because it would be catastrophic. The governor spoke on Wednesday in Calabar at the Industrial Park said the recruitment of 8000 youths was targeted at avoiding social tension in view of the harsh economic impact created by COVID 19. His words: ” With prices of oil falling, locking out is far better than locking down because another two weeks of lockdown will find this country under siege by young people. There is no way you can hold down these young energies for too long.
Sixty-Five percent of the population is below the age of 35 and the virus itself does not have penetrative force in such demography and that is what we have to recognize as a country,” he said. Speaking further, the governor explained that the difference in climate conditions between the west and Africa was the reason the pandemic is ravaging that part of the world. “Our demography is different from the west. Our climatic conditions are different. “If you take the wind speed, the wind direction, sun intensity, radiation and the factors that govern the movement of a virus, ours is a situation that makes it difficult to spread with the speed it is spreading in the western world. “So, our response strategy should reflect our environmental sensitivity. May be what COVID 19 will eventually do is to sharpen the consciousness of young people to come together. “That will be very dangerous and so, to nip that in the bud, we have to find jobs for them because sincerely, that is the provision in the constitution. Section 14 subsection 2 says the welfare and security of the people are the primary essences of Government.
