OGUN STATE RELEASES SCHEDULE FOR FREE COVID-19 TESTING IN 20 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
The Ogun State Government has released a schedule for the free testing of suspected patients of COVID-19.
The Schedule contains dates, venues, and time for the exercise across 20 Local Governments in the state.
Listed are the 20 Local Governments and their wards. Each has a unique allocation of medical officers and scientists who work on rotational basis to ascertain the COVID-19 status of residents who turn up for screening in each LGA, at the dedicated venues and dates for the designated exercise.
Gov. Abiodun, in a statement released in Abeokuta, on Sunday, urges everyone who falls within the national (NCDC) case definition, especially those displaying symptoms, to come forward and be tested for free.
"Once an infected person or persons is or are identified, s/he is placed under close observation and treated. That's how we can prevent community transmission", he said.
Ogun State had last week unveiled the protective glass box for the screening exercise to be used by health workers in the State to collect samples for forward testing at the Ogun State Walk-in and Drive-through Testing Centre at the Ijamido Town Hall, Opposite Ansar-u-Deen Comprehensive College in Ota.
