Five cases of the deadly B117 strain of COVID-19 has been discovered in Osun state.
The B117 strain of COVID-19 was firstly recorded in the United Kingdom.
This is sequel to the announcement made by the Chairman Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 Boss Mustapha barely five days ago, that Nigeria has recorded four cases of COVID-19 B117 strain.
The Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Funke Egbemode,on Sunday evening confirmed the discovery of the COVID-19 in a public announcement .
This new strain, according to the commissioner, spreads faster and kills quicker.
“If it continues to grow, more citizens will become vulnerable and those with underlying ailments more endangered,” she said adding the government is extremely concerned about the days ahead due to the continued disregard and defiance for safety protocols in the state.
“We cannot continue to act like COVID-19 is not real. It is not just a sad reality but one that has changed the momentum with this more deadly strain.
“Citizens are enjoined to scale up their personal responsibility for safety by complying with all the non-pharmaceutical protocols outlined by the government, to avoid tragic consequences,” she added.
