Health authorities in Cross River have debunked claims of 10 new cases of COVID-19, affirming that only one person has been diagnosed with the disease in the state.
The Cross River State Commissioner of Health, Henry Ayuk, made the clarification on Thursday.
“I want to use this opportunity to tell Nigerians that the information that has gone around that 10 more cases have been identified in Cross River is not correct; we have only one case,” Ayuk said.
Ayuk said the misinformation likely arose from reports that 10 contacts had been identified, which may have been interpreted as confirmed cases by the media.
