As the data of the covid-19 disease\ncontinues to get daily update in Nigeria through the Nigeria Center For Disease\nControl, Imo State appears to be gaining more grounds among states with\nreported cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It would be recalled that when the\noutbreak was recorded in Nigeria with many states involved with suspects, Imo\nwas not on the chart for over a month, which sent happy times to the residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trumpeta<\/em> also observed\nthat Imo at a time was among the few states without an index case until the\nthird week in April when reports filtered in the first case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to reports, the first case was\na security attach\u00e9 from Government House, Owerri, attached to Governor\u2019s\noffice. As the residents were yet to come to terms with the index case, another\ncase was recorded, until last week where fresh cases where recorded making the\nstate move from one to seven cases within three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Investigations by this newspaper\ndisclosed that the suspected carriers of the Coronavirus are non residents who\nmoved into the state from their different locations outside Imo State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first index case, a policeman was\nsaid to have come back from Kogi State, though a Kogi State indigene, it was\nalso suspected that the second and third cases were as a result of the contacts\nwith the man who came back from Kogi State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another startling proof that visitors\nare the carriers arise from another case in Obowo where a man based in Kano\nState was said to have left his domain to Ehume town in Obowo LGA to meet his\npeople within the lockdown period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Towards the end of last week, a fresh\ncase involving four persons were recorded in Orlu where a man who resides in\nLagos came home to visit his people at the home. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the data of the covid-19 disease continues to get daily update in Nigeria through<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27873,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-frontpage"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Imo-2.jpg",700,377,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Imo-2-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Imo-2-300x162.jpg",300,162,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Imo-2.jpg",640,345,false],"large":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Imo-2.jpg",640,345,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Imo-2.jpg",700,377,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Imo-2.jpg",700,377,false],"elegant-magazine-featured":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Imo-2.jpg",700,377,false],"elegant-magazine-medium":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Imo-2.jpg",700,377,false],"elegant-magazine-medium-small":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Imo-2.jpg",300,162,false],"elegant-magazine-thumbnail-small":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Imo-2.jpg",50,27,false]},"author_info":{"info":["Imo Trumpeta"]},"category_info":"Frontpage<\/a>","tag_info":"Frontpage","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28521"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28521\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28522,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28521\/revisions\/28522"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/27873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
