COVID-19: Officials In Ekiti Disregard Preventing Measures — Endanger Lives
The safety of Ekiti state residents might have been endangered due to the sheer laziness, ignorance and dereliction of duty on the part of those saddled with managing COVID-19 affairs in the state.
This new development in the state is coming after officials in the state refused to adhere to the standard preventive measures of the COVID-19 which stipulated that a person or people coming from a high risk area, asymptomatic or symptomatic, must be tested and quarantined for 14 days
Matters came to a head when the father of a man who came into Ekiti state from Lagos refused to accommodate him over fears that his son might have contracted the virulent infection.
Dissatisfied with the outcome of the COVID-19 test result, the old man asked officials to quarantine his son for 14 days because, according to him, the test result was tentative and he also does not have a place to self-isolation him.
Rather than take the right step and do the needful, the officials turned the situation to a source of derision and banter.
Below is the video of what transpired between the man, his son and Ekiti COVID-19 Officials.
