Pictures Showing How Ogun State Is Carrying Out COVID-19 Test On People Through A Glass Box (See Photos)

Governor Dapo Abiodun has shared pictures showing a glass box which he says protects health workers from getting infected with COVID-19 while carrying out tests on people.

He also revealed that samples from voluntary people in the state have been collected and sent for examination.

He wrote:-

“Our health workers have started using Nigeria’s pioneer protective glass box we installed in the Ogun State Walk-in & Drive-through Testing Centre at the Ijamido Town hall, Opposite Ansar-u-Deen Comprehensive College in Ota.

The protective glass box protects health personnel from risk of infection from persons whose samples are being taken. This is the primary advantage why the State Ministry of Health devised this equipment and method.

A number of suspected patients, who were identified or voluntarily reported, have given samples that have been transferred for testing and results will be ready for assessment in a short time.

My Deputy, @noimot.oyedele, and the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Tomi Coker inspected the operation, including sample collection and disinfection of gears by trained hygienists”.
