Emmanuel who noted that the state now has six active cases explained that the three new positive cases were discovered in the course of the ongoing contact tracing exercise in the state.

“On the last laboratory test we conducted on 44 suspected cases, three persons were confirmed positive, while we lost one.

“The patient we lost was a 68-year-old woman who was transferred to the centre, totally unconscious. With multiple serious long outstanding comorbidity.

“And I want to use this opportunity to appeal to doctors please, whether it is Covid-19 or not, once the illness is beyond what your experience and facility can carry, seek the help of your colleagues.

“We would not accept cases of dumping any longer. A situation where you bring a patient with total unconsciousness, and a few hours later, the person just gives up the ghost, we won’t accept that any longer”. He asserted
