Akeredolu raises alarm as COVID-19 spreads to 13 LGAs
…reported cases hit 1,052

Apparently disturbed by the latest spike in the spread of the deadly COVID-19 in Ondo state, the state Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has warned that the state might be forced to lockdown if the residents did not change their carefree attitudes to obey protocols for COVID-19 prevention.
This is coming as the state recorded a total of 154 cases as at Monday morning in 13 out of the 18 Local Government Areas of the state.

Governor Akeredolu who explained that the situation of the spread of coronavirus in the state has reached a state of emergency said although government did not want to lockdown the state for 14 days, but might be forced to do so if the people refuse to take simple but necessary action of self-protection by obeying and practising the basic national prevention and control protocols.

According to the Governor, as at Monday June 22nd, 1, 052 total cases have been reported with 1, 257 samples collected, while total confirmed cases have reached 154.
Total active cases on admission at the Infectious Diseases Hospital, IDH, are 71, total number of deaths is 18, just as 47 cases have been successfully treated and discharged.

The governor who spoke during the weekly press briefing on the latest spike in the spread of COVID–19 in the state, particularly expressed his displeasure over lackadaisical attitudes of the residents to the reality of the coronavirus pandemic, saying such poor attitudes portend serious danger to the safety of the people.

Akeredolu added that government is seriously concerned with this unpleasant trend and would invigorate its energy and resources to implement every measure to protect and preserve all residents of the state.

He listed the Local Government Areas with the confirmed cases to include: Akure South (68), Odigbo (9), Owo (6), Ose (3), Akure North (7), Ondo West (14), Okitipupa (35), Akoko South West (5), Akoko South East (1), Ile-Oluji/Okeigbo (1), Ifedore (3), Ilaje (1) and Ese Odo (1).
“As at 22nd June 2020, a total of 727 contacts of confirmed cases have been line-listed, 287 under follow-up and 440 have completed 14-days follow-up exercise.
“My people, make no mistake about it, COVID -19 is fully here with us and the reality today shows it is being dangerously spread within our communities and within the state from persons to persons. From the data reeled out above, it is not unexpected that those who came into contact with the earlier confirmed cases are the largest victims of COVID–19 infection currently.

“Government is seriously concerned about this disturbing record and trend, moreso that no end appears yet in sight. In fact, what seems to be in view is the undesirable increase in our vulnerability as a result of our deliberate non-challant attitude.
“The only solution, as I often say, is to take the very simple but necessary action of self-protection by obeying and practising the basic national prevention and control protocols.
“The point must be made again that what this spike is also showing us is the embarrassing fact that many people still do not believe that the virus exists, talk more of making conscious effort at prevention.
“Regrettably, our investigations and other unpalatable experiences still show apathy, disdain and neglect to the reality of COVID-19. Such attitude can only mean a neglect for the safety of our lives and those of our loved ones”, the Governor stressed.
