At least 300 persons in Oyo State are expecting their COVID-19 test results. The processing of the test results has been pended due to shortage of reagents.
Head of the Oyo State COVID-19 task force, Governor Seyi Makinde, who made known this development, on Wednesday, on his social media handles, said the state was in the process of getting reagents to process the samples that had been taken.
While assuring of concerted efforts to clear the backlog, Makinde said the state will continue to conduct tests at the drive-through/walk-through testing centre at Adamasingba Stadium, Ibadan.
