Ebonyi State Government says it would not hesitate to order a total lockdown of the state if the coronavirus pandemic cases continue to rise in the state.

This is even as it noted that those who claimed that the virus was not real were jokers. It said the realities on ground proved that the virus is a reality.

Umahi, who lambasted those saying the disease was a conduit for money making by politicians, urged the residents not to be deceived by social media enthusiasts who took to Facebook and other online platforms to castigate the state government. Umahi said, “When the lockdown was there, the cases were coming in trickles and now that the lockdown has been reduced, the cases are coming in a very surprising manner. Nigerians are the ones to advise themselves, either to isolate or be careful.

“Today, we have a total of 13 cases of COVID-19 in the state. I will give you breakdown and give you details of the 9th to the 13th case. The first treatment centre has a total of 26 facilities and in the next seven days, we would be opening that very wonderful and ultra modern emergency ward that was constructed, which has 300 bed spaces here in Abakaliki, the state capital.

That would be a very stupid move and counter-productive. Sometimes I feel these polithiefcians reason from their anus.
