The Abia State government on Thursday declared a COVID-19 patient<\/a> wanted after he escaped from a temporary treatment centre in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state Commissioner of Information, Chief John Okiyi-Kalu, who disclosed this in a statement, said the patient \u2013Emmanuel Ononiwu \u2014had refused to submit himself for appropriate medical management and isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnoniwu, a resident of Aba, escaped from a temporary holding facility in the city prior to his movement to an isolation centre after he was informed of his COVID-19 status,\u201d the commissioner said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Okiyi-Kalu, all appeals made to the patient through his phone line fell on deaf ears as refused to present himself for effective management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added: \u201cIf seen anywhere, please report to the nearest security agency or call 0700 2242 362, but do not approach him without full protection to avoid infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEnforcement teams all over the state are also advised to be on the lookout and take him in as soon as he is found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll those who had contact with him in the past 14 days are strongly advised to call 0700 2242 362 and submit themselves for testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe strongly advise all citizens and residents to be vigilant and take necessary measures to protect themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo not leave your house without wearing your face mask<\/a> appropriately and ensure you maintain social distance at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
