A physiotherapist and lecturer in the Department of Physiology, University of Uyo (name withheld) has died after showing COVID-19 symptoms.

The late doctor, owner of a prominent hospital in Ewet Housing Estate, Uyo, was said to have died at the Ibom Multi-Specialist Hospital, one of the COVID-19 isolation centres in the state.

It was learnt that the deceased had a history of fever, cough and shortness of breath for a week, and had to be placed on oxygen in his clinic. It was gathered that he was later transferred to the Ibom Multi-Specialist Hospital by the COVID-19 Response Team, where his sample was taken for onward dispatch for COVID-19 testing in the laboratory.

Unfortunately, the deceased died before the test was conducted to ascertain his COVID-19 status. According to a release signed by the State Chairman, Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), Dr Nsikak Nyoyoko, and made available to newsmen on Friday in Uyo, details of the case management of the deceased are still sketchy.

“Today, we all have a reason to be sad. I was called last night by a colleague who intimated me that one of our colleagues was sick with a week history of fever, cough and shortness of breath which worsened yesterday with his SPO2 as low as 72%, requiring him to be placed on oxygen at his clinic. “I immediately called upon a member of the State COVID-19 Response Team to swing into action and somehow, later last night, our colleague was admitted into ISH and managed by specialists in respiratory medicine.

“With the sympoms elucidated above, a suspicion of COVID-19 was entertained and he had his sample taken today awaiting transportation to the laboratory for COVID-19 testing. “Unfortunately, this revered Colleague of ours died mid afternoon today. Details of the case management are still sketchy as attempts to reach members of the incident Management Committee (IMC) were unsuccessful as they were out for a meeting.

“We have just lost a Friend, Colleague and a brother. Its been a sad day for us at NMA, Akwa Ibom State but be rest assured that the lessons learnt from this tragic event would not pass in vain.

“I want to urge all our members to remain calm,stay safe and please reach out to a colleague or the Association when in need of help,” the statement read.

He showed the symptoms but wasn’t tested for the virus, anything For the doe

Hmmm

Dust to dust....

In God, we Trust.

d funny tin is that akwa ibom state have 6 casualties for the past 2 weeks and maybe this included in that 6 because lockdown have been announced in uyo for the past one month bt its business as usual Asif they are not part of the lockdown rules..now people are downplaying the whole covid issue that is doesn't exist and was in more pain wen I saw dt xo called zlatan saying on Twitter dt the covid virus is a scam..naija need to wake up n get informed because this covid virus is real as our bad leaders playing politics with the virus stuff..heard today dt only pdp youths wr gving special alerts from d state gov as stay home pay n I ask myself...wat abt d Oda people?? are they not among akwaibomites??don't they need money n palliatives too no matter how small?? do they deserve to die of hunger bcoz they support Oda parties??...so many questions left unanswered bt that's what we get when the head of the country DNT lead by example

What a world, covid 19 is trying to gain ground both north & southern Nigeria. May God save us all.

It amazes me that Buhari reduced health care budget in 2020 budget. But N37billion to renovate national assembly remained

I think the Medical Association should help Nigerians. They should inject and kill every politician in this government whenever they visit their hospital

You claim you don't need relief material or palliative from any way because you have. If you have enough, and cannot show your neighbor whom you live better than empathy, assistance, then you are nothing, in relevant and poor and needs to be supported in these times.

RIP to persons who died



Let's help one another please.

I wrote on my previous post that the Covid19 in nigeria could be a scam by government. Some merchant slaves on here attacked me.

When the government is done with you guys, no one will tell your unborn kids to be corrupt.

Wait gan!!!
How many weeks does it take to do COVID-19 test seff, how come the man died before his status was confirmed?, Why is the man name withheld? This is information required to removed the doubt of COVID-19 being a sham from the minds of most Nigerians.Where are the images?. E be like these people no Sabi say na doubting Thomas plenty for naija, if e never catch dem,dem no go believe say e real. With dumb celebrities pushing the idea that the virus isn't real and we all know that Nigerians have more faith in celebrities than their for government.I tire country anyway Stay safe guys,use face masks and obeserve social distancing. I pray God sees us through (Amen)
