The spokesperson to the state governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, who made this known in Osogbo, hinted that a middle-aged man contracted the disease and had been in isolation in an undisclosed hospital for proper medical attention.

He remarked, “the victim had been isolated and placed on treatment, and the state government had also begun contract tracing and searching for others who might have been infected with the disease in other locations across the state.”

“The state government has also begun sensitisation programmes for residents on how to prevent the disease.”

According to him,” the government is also carrying out Production and distribution of IEC materials. Training health workers on case definitions and Infection Prevention and Control of Diphtheria. Production and airing of jingle on prevention and Training of Health workers on sample collection of Diphtheria”.
