Ebonyi Hospital Raises Alarm Over New COVID Variant

Fear has gripped hospital workers in Ebonyi State as an internal memo within the National Obstetric Fistula Centre, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, alerting workers of an outbreak of a new variant of COVID-19 in the State.

The internal memo dated August 22, 2023, emanated from the office of the head of clinical services and was addressed to the hospital community.

It was tiled: ‘FYI: COVID IS ON THE PROWL AGAIN, CAUTION, PLEASE’, and signed by Dr. Yakubu E.N, Head of Clinical Services.

However, an anonymous senior health official expressed skepticism regarding the accuracy of Yakubu’s claims, asserting that the Ministry of Health should be the appropriate authority to announce any COVID-19 outbreak in the state.
