Delta State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, has appealed to the people of the state to follow the health protocols prescribed by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and the government as part of strategies to combat the lethal coronavirus pandemic.
Mr. Aniagwu made the call when he visited members of the Delta Online Publishers Forum (DOPF), an association of online news publishers at the forum’s office in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
The call followed the continuing rise of confirmed cases in both the State and at the national level.
Ten new cases of the virus were recorded in Delta on Tuesday bringing the total Covid-19 cases in the state to 98.
With the increasing figure, the Commissioner has insisted that every resident in Delta should use facemasks, hand sanitisers and hand washing recommended by the health authorities.
He also said people should avoid crowded places and maintain physical distancing between people in all interactions.
