OGUN CAN NOW CONDUCT HER OWN COVID-19 TEST.

The executive Governor of Ogun state, Dr. Dapo Abiodun stated on his social media page that The level of cooperation, compliance and support the state received from all angles cannot be overappreciated.

He said: I am delighted to announce that our molecular laboratory is set to be open for operations, requiring only final touches for maximum operation.

The laboratory will reduce the overall duration of tests and result provision for suspected #COVID19 patients whose samples we have so far had to take to neighbouring states, leaving the patients and their families anxious for results.

I also want to clarify that we are currently reviewing, for the 14-day lockdown extension, the windows we earlier allowed for the first phase of the lockdown to allow essential activities. This implies that while we will soon disclose the result of our review for the coming weeks, the 7am-2pm window will be observed on Friday, the 17th.

If we continue to maintain distancing and hygiene measures, our landmark molecular laboratory would surely make its impact in our response, testing and handling abilities.
