“A total of 49 patients have been confirmed active cases, with 25 patients discharged, nine tests are pending, with just one death recorded so far,” the post on Twitter read.
This came days after Governor AbdulRazaq attributed the increased rate of infections to the influx of people from Lagos and North Western states to Ilorin, the state capital despite the ban on inter- state travels.
