Oyo faces challenges on new cases

Oyo State Government is  sweating it out over the management of Coronavirus spread as the number of positive cases has exceeded available facilities.

The Southwest state experienced a spike within the week due to a rising number of staff of a customer centre outsourcing firm, ISON Ltd., that brought the total number of positive cases in the state to 233.

iSON alone accounted for 143 persons out of the 233 who tested positive within the last three weeks. With this then facilities are reportedly overstretched.

The government has therefore, turned to private individuals asking them to donate their facilities to be used as isolation centers.
