COVID-19 Update: Osun records 24 new cases, discharges 11

The Government of the State of Osun on Thursday confirmed the discovery of 24 new cases in the State. 

The State’s Commissioner for Health,  Dr. Rafiu Isamotu, who made this known through a press statement in Osogbo on Thursday, also disclosed that 11 patients were also discharged from its Treatment and Isolation Centre same day after testing negative for the virus.

The Commissioner noted that the new cases were discovered following contact tracing of previous cases in the Ilesa, Ile Ife and Osogbo areas of the State. 

He appealed to citizens and residents of the State to always observe all the precautionary measures laid down by the State against the spread of the virus.

The Health Commissioner also revealed that with the latest development, the number of confirmed cases in the State has risen to 151 with  87 active cases.

“Lack of strict adherence to safety protocols and guidelines by our people is one of the main reasons for the sudden rise in our Covid-19 cases. But with the sentence of a defaulter to 30 days’ imprisonment, we have shown our resolve to enforce these safety protocols and guidelines. “With the latest development, the number of our active cases as at today, Thursday, July 2, is 87. We have 151 confirmed cases, out of which the State has successfully treated and discharged 59 patients while five deaths have been recorded,” Dr. Isamotu added.
