The Nigerian Medical Association Cross River State branch has raised alarm over potential community transmission of coronavirus in the state.
The NMA decried the increasing report of flu-like symptoms, respiratory symptoms and the loss of smell or taste among patients in various hospitals, lamenting that it was an indication of potential community transmission of an undetected disease fitting the epidemiologic pattern of COVID-19. ”Sadly, the COVID-19 infection curve is still on the rise and yet to peak in the country. The lack of adherence to infection prevention strategies like social distancing, use of face mask, hand and respiratory hygiene at this crucial time is worrisome. We, therefore, call on all residents in Cross River State to sustain infection prevention measures” the group said.
Let us have Cross River in our prayers.
