Ekiti to commence random COVID-19 test for residents - Latest Nigeria News, Nigerian Newspapers, Politics

Yaya-Kolade made this known in Ado Ekiti at a news conference by the State COVID-19 Task Force Committee.According to her, the random test, which would be done across every nook and cranny , must be undertaken in view of the geometric increase in the number of COVID-19 victims.

“We will begin random testing next week to stop community spread. The state is also doing a lot of infection prevention trainings for our health workers to make our people safe. “Those coming into the state illegally through the borders should therefore stay away in their own interest and to avoid the consequences of running foul of government’s arrangements and rules.

“We are still tracing some contacts and we are expecting our molecular laboratory soon just as we are still preaching prevention and containment through usage of masks and keeping to personal hygiene and social distancing,” the commissioner added.

It a welcome development.
