On Thursday, Oyo state recorded new cases of COVID-19, shooting the state’s pandemic case to 190 from 162 recorded on Wednesday.
Governor Makinde, who is also the Head of the Oyo State COVID-19 Task Force, reassured that his government “doing everything in our power to contain the spread of this disease, given the recent increase in numbers.”
“The upside is that majority of the COVID-19 cases in Oyo State have relatively mild or no symptoms. This means that with the proper management of cases that we have put in place, they will recover without any complications.
“The downside is that when people are asymptomatic, they can easily spread the virus unknowingly. This is why we must all play our roles by adhering to guidelines on frequent hand washing with soap and water, physical distancing and the use of face mask in public places,” he explained.
He said the state will continue to deploy all resources at disposal to ensure that the virus is contained in Oyo State.
