He, however said, despite all the doctors saying, this is most likely Covid19 and the politicians in the state are attempting a cover-up.
“They do NOT want the man tested. They do NOT want to notify NCDC. They just want to sweep the whole thing under the carpet (maybe because of the man’s status).
The doctors, nurses and health workers who were exposed to this patient are scared for their lives.
If this patient does NOT get tested, These men and women may be infected with Covid19 and never know.
They are at risk.
Their families are at risk.
Other patients are at riskThis is the same Akwa Ibom govt that initially tried to reject NCDC results until the agency insisted. There are current plans to also suppress this information from going public. But the doctors and health workers who attended to him are very scared for their lives and jobs”, the Dr. said.
He called on the National Center of Disease Control, NCDC, to take up the case and if possible send their agents to Ibom Specialist Hospital in Uyo and test the man’s corpse.
“Kindly isolate/quarantine all health workers exposed to this man. Kindly contact trace and test everyone he came in contact with,” he pleaded,
