COVID-19: Plateau State Records First Coronavirus Death

 

Plateau state has recorded its first Coronavirus death as confirmed in a media briefing by the Governor Simon Lalong.

Governor Lalong who made the announcement at the Government House
in Jos, said the patient died before his test result came back
positive.

The Governor also lamented over the violation of the inter-state
transportation ban, which he said has led to increased cases of
Coronavirus in Plateau state. Lalong further revealed that they have
redoubled their effort in contact tracing, isolating suspected contacts
and treating the infected patients.

He said;

“As of today, we have successfully treated and discharged 10 infected
persons including the index case who have all been reunited with their
families.

“The other 22 infected persons are still undergoing treatment and in
stable condition. Sadly, one suspect whose sample was taken died
yesterday before his result was returned positive.

“This has exposed the state to more dangers of COVID-19, as virtually
all the cases we have recorded, originated from other states and were
imported by people who defied our directives and entered the state at
all costs. This is indeed sad.”
