The commissioner maintained that if the state could keep Lassa fever at bay, it would also do same to coronavirus, assuring that the ministry was ready for it.

He noted that isolation centres had been made available inside and outside the hospital to quarantine any persons who might be affected by the virus.

He also disclosed that the government had been carrying out massive sensitisation programmes.“

We thank God for the media; we are sensitising our people on radio, television and even in mosques and churches on the importance of hand washing and the need to use hand sanitisers as often as possible.

“The ministry is now producing sanitisers so that it can be made available to everybody at subsidised price. We decided to do that because some people are taking advantage of the situation to exploit others.

“The ministry, with the support from the Federal Ministry of Health and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), has already started sharing information on how to prevent infection and mitigate it in case of an outbreak in the state,” he said.

Makusidi further stated that the state would strengthen the surveillance system to detect any case of coronavirus, including investigation and monitoring of any outbreak.

His words: “The Public Health Emergency Operation Centre (PHEOC) would continue to be on watch mode and continue to enhance surveillance in the state.”
