COVID-19: Osun records seven deaths, 73 cases in two weeks

Osun State has recorded seven deaths and 73 COVID-19 cases.

Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Mrs Funke Egbemode ,noted the cases were recorded within two weeks.

She said: “It had become imperative for citizens to consciously take personal responsibility for their safety because the third wave of this dreaded disease has berthed in Osun. In the last two weeks, the state has recorded 74 cases with 7 mortality.

“We can no longer afford to treat our protection with levity. We must wear masks religiously and avoid crowded spaces like a plague. It is becoming more obvious that our lives depend on how well we adhere to safety protocols.

“Osun’s daily coronavirus case tallies and mortality rate are becoming alarming. The effects of the virus keep getting worse by the day because our compliance level is deplorable and alarming.

“Partying and appearances at densely populated locations have become dangerous all over. We are back to ground zero with the virus, and we cannot continue to pretend like it doesn’t exist.

“The current statistics signal a precarious situation. With 74 positive cases in the last two weeks, from which ten per cent mortality was recorded, continued disregard for safety guidelines and protocols by citizens may result in more frightening statistics with time.

“The more nonchalant and careless we become this season, the more we open ourselves up to the dangerous effects of the pandemic.
