Delta State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has said that COVID-19 Delta variant is not in any way synonymous with the state.
The governor who stated this during the inauguration of projects executed by his administration in Sapele and Ethiope West Local Government Areas of the state, tasked Deltans to continue to practice all protocols against the pandemic.
He particularly urged the people of the state to keep adhering to all the stipulated precautionary measures by wearing their face masks and using the sanitary sanitizers at all times.
The governor also noted with concern that many Nigerians believe that COVID-19 no longer exist in the country.
“The numbers are now on the rise and prevalent, especially in Lagos State. Even though the variant Delta is not synonymous with Delta State, I am seriously appealing to all the good people of Delta State to use the face mask and the sanitizers, as prescribed.
“We must all do the needful to ward off the pandemic in the State,” said the governor.
