However, in a statement signed by the Commissioner of Health Enugu State, Obi Emmanuel Ikechukwu, he said the state’s COVID-19 Rapid Response Team could neither find any proof that the couple lived in Oji River LGA of the State nor could any ‘contact’ be traced.

Ikechukwu stated, “Further communication with the Health authorities in Ebonyi State revealed that this couple intentionally deceived the medical team on duty by saying they were coming from Oji River LGA in Enugu State, in order to hide the fact that they were on a trip from Lagos State, in an attempt to evade being quarantined.

“The Enugu State Ministry of Health appeals to the good people of the State to remain calm and continue to abide by the preventive measures as directed by the Federal Government, Federal Ministry of Health, the NCDC and Enugu State Government.”

He advised residents to take the following steps for their safety:
“If you must go out, wear a face mask.

“Sanitize surfaces all around you as often as possible with a 1in6 mixture of bleach and water.”
