Governor Rotimi Akeredolu says he is sad about the current situation of Covid-19 cases in Ondo State.
Akeredolu at a media briefing today, Monday June, 15 2020 disclosed that…
‘’ I feel sad to announce to you that our state recorded an unprecedented 30 new cases of Coronavirus infection in the last one week. It is an occurrence which should not have happened if the necessary precautions were respected and obeyed. The indicators, the trends and patterns seen so far, seem to suggest that the difficult days are fast approaching.
‘’ The point must be made again that until we take charge of the fight to stop the spread, the pandemic will continue to attack our daily lives and limit the freedom and prosperity which we are entitled to as civilised people.
‘’ All the 30 cases recorded within last week ending yesterday are clear cases of community transmission. They are cases of the spread within our communities and within the state from persons to persons. They are cases of spread by people who have come into contact with those who had earlier been infected. It is the new trend, it is dangerous and harmful. It makes all of us vulnerable. The risk is high, the costs, too enormous to imagine, if not checked in good time. Our responsibilities also are not very few, considering the height of the stakes.
‘’ It is very important to note that the spread is now in all the four corners of our state. It has found habitat in all the three senatorial districts. From the Northern district through the central to the southern district, the raw facts stare us in the face that as individuals and communities, our efforts are not enough to protect us and our loved ones. Indeed, we are facing the consequences of neglect and self-denial…’’ the governor said in part.
