His counterpart, the Chief Medical Director of the State’s Specialist hospital, Alex Maiyangwa, said mass testing is ongoing.

”In the last one month we tested 363 cases and 60 without the health workers turned out positive and fortunately, no mortality ”

Chairman of the committee Innocent Vakkai says hands must be on deck to check further spread of the pandemic.

”The committee noted that there is an increase in the number of cases in the state which cuts across all the LGAs with the epocentre as the state capital Jalingo.

”In view of that, the committee is advocating that the populace should ensure the compulsory use of facemasks in public places.

”The number of cases is rising in Taraba and if nothing is done, it can lead to a catastrophic end.

”As we await the arrival of the vaccines, let me put it on record that it will first be given to front line health workers that are working directly on patients, either at isolation or treatment centres ”

“Just in case any corps member is found to be COVID-19 positive, the committee has put up measures on how they can be isolated.”

According to the NCDC, so far Taraba has a record of 296 cases, with 213 discharged while 71 are active.
