Senate to Probe Fresh COVID-19 Case in Cross River
Senate President Initiates Investigation into Reported COVID-19 Case in Cross River State
In response to reports of a new COVID-19 case in Cross River State, Senate President Godswill Akpabio has directed a thorough investigation. The announcement came following Thursday’s plenary session, during which Akpabio tasked the Senate Committee on Health with an urgent examination of the matter.
The committee, led by Senator Ipalibo Banigo, will investigate the reported case and deliver its findings at the next legislative meeting. This action follows concerns regarding the state’s surveillance, testing, and response capabilities as health authorities monitor the situation closely.
Lawmakers emphasized that the investigation will evaluate the public health response, assess the readiness of health institutions, and identify necessary measures to manage any potential spread of the virus. Public health officials are advocating for heightened vigilance and adherence to health guidelines during this critical period.
