The Oyo state governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde has revealed why the state government is yet to fumigate markets across the state as a way to contain the outbreak of coronavirus.
Makinde, while giving update on the coronavirus pandemic in the state stated this in a tweet on Thursday.
He also talked about latest development at the infectious disease center at Olodo.
He said “In response to enquiries as to why we have not fumigated markets; based on advice from the state’s epidemiologist, Dr Femi Akinyode, market fumigation will only be necessary in the event of sustained community transmission of the virus.
“We are working to standardise the facilities at the new Infectious Disease Centre, Olodo. A new 60 KVA generator has been provided and CCTV installation is ongoing.”
