Forty-four people had so far died of COVID-19 in Akwa Ibom State.
Special Adviser on Heath Matters to Governor Udom Emmanuel, Dr. Dominic Ukpong made the disclosure at the maiden Eket Christmas Festival on Friday.
“It is official that 44 people died in Akwa Ibom since COVID-19 started on April 1, 2020.
“We should not allow people to deceive us, COVID-19 is real.
“In our state, the area which has the highest COVID-19 number was Uyo Local Government Area (LGA), followed by Eket LGA and Ikot Ekpene LGA,” Ukpong said.
Ukpong added: “Just about three days ago, we have about five cases of COVID-19 again but we have not been able to confirm whether it is Omicron or not.”
The special adviser appealed to residents of Eket and its environs to continue to abide by the protocols to prevent the virus.
