The governor, after going round hospitals in Sokoto to ensure that awareness on the dangers of Lassa fever is intensified, said necessary technological precautions have been put in place across the 23 local governments of the state.

“Despite initial apprehension of a possible case of the deadly disease in the state, the three suspected cases earlier taken to Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) Laboratory Centre for blood sample analysis have all come out negative, reaffirming the zero case submission in Sokoto.

“All necessary precaution has been put in place while technology has been deployed to help with surveillance in all the 23 local government areas of the state.”

While admonishing the people of the state to ensure that they maintain hygiene at all time, Tambuwal insisted that the recent re-introduction of monthly environmental sanitation with vigour has helped in no small measure in sanitizing the state.
