No fewer than seven health workers in Rivers State have tested positive to the COVID-19 disease<\/a>, a group disclosed on Wednesday in Port-Harcourt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Association of Resident Doctors made a call to the state governor, Nyesom Wike<\/a> to fulfill his promise of increasing the hazard allowances for frontline health workers fighting the pandemic in the state by 50 per cent of their basic salaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chairman of the association, Rivers State Teaching Hospital branch, Dr. Josephine Sokolo, lamented the unfavorable working conditions of the health workers in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have seven health workers infected and they are being treated now. In fact, two days ago, a doctor in another state died out of COVID-19 complications, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe governor should increase the hazard allowances of healthcare workers to 50 per cent of their basic salaries. He should put in place a life insurance policy so that in case anything happens to any health worker, their families won\u2019t be rendered bankrupt.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
