It declared that in order to avoid that, “we should put our heads together to help our personnel and government reduce the incidence of community transmission. Our responsibility is enormous which is being carried out through case investigation, surveillance and contact tracing, and risk communication to ensure we reduce and soften the rate of infection across communities, towns and villages”.
Some observers are of the opinion that the number of positive cases in the state is increasing due to the non-adherence to the preventive protocol put in place particularly social and physical distancing which the people have completely ignored.
