Speaking at the event attended by the Permanent Secretary, Health Service Commission, Dr Eniayewun and the Permanent Secretary, PHCB, Dr Olugbemiga Aina, the commissioner said the low death rate “suggests competence in the management of confirmed cases” by the state government.

Abayomi disclosed that the state government had accredited three private facilities to participate in COVID-19 care, disclosing further that home-based care would soon commence in the state.
