In a statement signed by the State NMA Chairman, Dr. valentine Omoifo, he said the state government ought to have heeded the advice on the need to close all the borders in and outside Edo State.
According to Omoifo, “the breakdown shows that Edo State leads other states in the South-South geopolitical zone of the country in the number of confirmed positive cases and deaths.” He said that measures put in place by the state government to enforce sit-at-home order and social distancing order had been largely ineffective.
