The Ministry of Health, Cross River State, said it is making use of town criers and churches as parts of the informal channels to enlighten people

The health commissioner, Betta Edu, stated this on Saturday while talking about the preparedness of the Cross River state government against the outbreak of the virus around the world.

“We are also working with the mobilisation officers and information officers at the local government areas so they can get town criers out into the various communities to say these things in our local dialects and in Pidgin English.“We try to keep our message very straight and simple,” she said. “All we are saying is that Cross River state government is asking everybody not to panic, we are on top of the situation, and we are poised to protect Cross Riverians from the coronavirus.

The commissioner said the state has developed a system where samples could be sent in for laboratory tests. “For the last two weeks, our airport has had health workers screening everyone that comes in from one of the 48 countries that have been implicated in the coronavirus outbreak.
