As part of measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 in Ogun State, the state government, on Tuesday, said it has rolled out a mobile application for members of the public to self-assess themselves on an individual basis for the disease.
In a release signed by the state commissioner for Health, Dr Tomi Coker said the application named “Ogun COVID-19 Assessment” is meant to determine the risk of resident’s exposure to the disease and not for diagnostic purposes.
Coker noted that the application is downloadable on Google play store and can also be assessed on https://covid19.ogunhip.com/ and https://covid19.ogunstate.gov.ng/
