designated for that purpose.
"I am pleased to report that the patient is in stable
condition and is responding well to treatment from our team of medical
professionals.

international best practices as enunciated by the World Health Organisation
(WHO) and Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), the state government urges
Deltans, especially Christians to worship from home as the lockdown order is

"We thank Deltans for their support so far and urge them to
continue to obey relevant instructions as it has become apparent that the virus

effective implementation of its regulations on measures to curtail further
spread of the virus in our state and country,’’ the governor said.
