 Noimot Salako Oyedele Confirmed Covid19, 3 New case In Ota True.

Ota recorded its first confirmed cases of COVID-19 overnight as at 11:25 PM on Wednesday 22nd Of April and the contacts of these positive cases will have easy access to testing.

he deputy Gov Noimot Salako was in Ota On Thursday 32rd of April to flag off the OGUN STATE WALK-IN AND DRIVE-IN TESTING CENTRE FOR COVID-19.

This walk-in center is in partnership with the Flying Doctors Investment Group led by Dr. Ola Brown. Ota was chosen strategically because it is one of the towns which border Lagos State, the disease hot-spot in Nigeria.

This center is a game changer in the detection of the disease in our communities. The tests are available to high-risk patients who are detected during contract tracing or those who are symptomatic. After an initial assessment at the Test Centre, patients who meet the criteria for testing have their samples taken and sent to the newly installed molecular lab in OOUTH or other accredited labs in neighbouring states. The results will be communicated directly and confidentially to the patients.

Incidentally, Ota recorded its first confirmed cases of COVID-19 overnight and the contacts of these positive cases will have easy access to testing.

I assured members of the public of His Excellency Prince Dapo Abiodun’s commitment to doing his best to flatten the curve of the disease while at the same time ensuring that the State is equipped to deal with many cases in which it gets.

I also seized the opportunity to remind everyone to wash their hands regularly, practice respiratory hygiene by sneezing into their elbows, keep social distances, and wear a mask.
