A video that made the rounds yesterday showed the moment a suspected COVID-19 patient was being evacuated to an isolation centre in a very ‘careless manner’ as none of the officials doing the evacuation were seen wearing the mandatory PPE that such situation requires.


The video elicited a wide range of criticism from social media users and some even doubted if the patient really had the virus.

In recent development, the Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has ordered the sack of a government driver attached to the state’s COVID-19 Rapid Response Team RRT, who attended to a suspected COVID-19 patient “in an unprofessional manner”.

A statement released by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, says the official failed to heed the clear directive from his superiors at the Rapid Response Team not to take any action until they arrive the scene.
