According to the press release, The Attention of the Cross River State Ministry of Health has been drawn to rumours circulating the Social Media and trending by CalabarTrendingTV about a first positive test for Corona Virus (COVID-19) involving a Student of Human Kinetics Department, University of Calabar and isolated at home who had at some point come in contact with some persons.
Dr Beta Edu stated that the press release is to notify the general public that the information is false and misleading and should not in any way cause unnecessary fear and panic as Cross River State still remains free of COVID-19. “The Permanent Isolation Center is still vacant with no patient in it” She said.
