Information gathered by AFNews reveals that Abia State may soon have a serious increases in the cases of Coronavirus or COVID 19 due to the handling of the two index cases.



AFNews had earlier published that NCDC confirmed two COVID 19 cases yesterday in Abia State and we also gave insight into one of the cases.



But on further investigation we discovered that Abia state may become the next hot spot if the virus is not properly contained and those who have had contacts with the index cases are not traced on time.



We gathered that both COVID 19 cases were formally being managed at the ICU center of the Federal Medical center in Umuahia for the past one week before they were discovered to be COVID 19 positive.



Both cases were not in an isolation room in FMC, instead they were in the open ICU center with other patients.



During their period of management at FMC before the COVID 19 confirmation, they had contacts with numerous medical workers which includes Doctors and Nurses.

We also gathered the all the nurses and doctors that had contacts with the positive cases are currently being traced and will be brought into isolation.



But remember, that these nurses and doctors may have also had contacts with their family, friends or business associates.



At the moment, one of the doctors that attended to the positives cases collapsed at FMC yesterday and died.



We learnt that so many doctors tried resuscitating him, but failed including very senior consultants.



So, if this said doctor had interaction or contact with the COVID cases and other doctors, nurses have also had contact with him while trying to resuscitated him, it means a lot of health workers in FMC should immediately go into isolation.



Based on the above information, it has become very important that all Health Workers use the necessary PPEs while attending to any patient in hospitals today because the symptoms of COVID 19 is similar to Malaria and other common diseases.
