The Osun State Government on Friday announced that it has recorded 22 new COVID-19 cases in the state.
This was revealed by the State’s Commissioner for Health, Dr. Rafiu Isamotu in a statement on Osogbo, the state’s capital, on Friday.
He also said the recent spike in the number of cases may make the government impose another lockdown on the state if residents continue to disregard the relaxation guidelines.
“On Thursday, we announced the discovery of 17 new cases in our dear State. Sadly, today again, we have 22 new cases. Considering where we are coming from, this is worrisome. We must, therefore, take responsibility. The battle against Coronavirus is not over yet.
“The virus is still very much with us. We must observe precautionary measures if we must avoid community transmission.
“With the latest development, the number of our active cases as at today, Friday, June 26, is 54. We have 106 confirmed cases, out of which the State has successfully treated and discharged 47 patients while five deaths have been recorded,” Dr. Isamotu added.
