Abia Confirms First Monkey Pox Case by opamoses1: 6:45am On Aug 20
Abia State Government says it has recorded one incident of Monkeypox in the state.

This was disclosed by the Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, who chaired the state’s executive council meeting on Monday.

He noted that there were 13 suspected cases, one of which was positive, nine negative, and three uncertified, with no death recorded yet.

He also said the case was in Isialangwa and that the state has opened centres, including Abia State University Teaching Hospital, and that “more centres are coming soon.”

Speaking, the Special Adviser on Health, Dr. Ngozi Azodo, explained that there is a synergy between the Ministries of Health, Environment, and Public Utilities, adding that a steering committee has been set up on the infectious diseases, while the state has keyed into the Federal Government “One-Health” policy.

She also stressed that the state government is looking at how to strengthen such facilities and has maintained high surveillance.

She called on citizens to maintain good hygiene, reduce contact with animals, and stay away from people with suspected cases.

Azodo also disclosed that the state Ministry of Health has concluded plans to deliver 200 Primary Healthcare Centres in 100 days; this will be done by ” renovating and retrofitting existing PHCs to bring them up to standard.”

According to her, the move is a “bold step taken by the ministry. Work begins in the first week of September,” and delivery begins in December as a ” Christmas gift” to Abians.

Are you joking or something? Have you not read that this is a new strain spreading rapidly from DR Congo where it has recorded a significant number of mortalities especially in infants. It is also more contagious than the last epidemic of 2021/2022 as this can spread by contact.

The authorities are not moving fast enough on this in my opinion because cases are already being reported in Europe as well.

WELLL ABIA SHOULD DO ITS BEST TO CONTAIN IT.



DONT DO LIKE OUR YORUBA BROTHERS WHO KNEW THEY HAD EBOLA BUT DECIDED TO BRING IT EAST TO PORTHARCOURT.


THE POLICY SHOULD BE TO CONTAIN AND ERADICATE TO MINIMISE SPREAD AND CONTAMINATION.




EVERYWHERE THE INDIVIDUAL HAVE BEEN SHOULD BE TRACED AND WHOEVER THEY HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT TRACKED.



USE PROTECTIVE WEAR.



ALSO, IT MAY BE A GOOD IDEA TO PLACE A TEMPOARARY LOCKDOWN.




GOOD LUCK!

Calabar Drill Monkey Ranch is a conservation enthusiasm, drill rehab and breeding centre, otherwise known as Drill Ranch is supposed to be where a colony of rescued drill monkeys and chimpanzees are conserved for amusement.
However our government is not concerned about what goes on there. They are more concerned with securing loans and sharing the loots, while in their doormouth , evil is being brewed.
