The newly diagnosed Covid-19 patients who have been short listed as the 76 newly recorded cases on Wednesday, 8th of July, have been sent back home due to the isolation centers closure within the state resulting from the strike embarked on by doctors over unpaid allowances.
This was made known by Olufemi Fasipe, an Ondo State born human right activist through his twitter handle.
He tweeted “We just recorded 76 new cases of #Covid29 in Ondo State and our Isolation center is currently shut down because our doctors are on strike”
Adding that “Ondo State today set the record of the first state in the world to send out #COVID19 patients from the isolation center back to their homes.
This is coming shortly after the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) on Tuesday, 7th of July, 11:45pm (Nigeria Time) published 76 new Covid-19 cases in Ondo State among other affected states within the country.
