The Anambra State government on Friday, January 24, 2020, announced the setting up of an emergency response unit to deal with any Lassa fever case.
But there is no reported case for now, according to health commissioner, Vincent Okpala.
He said there was no cause for alarm as government was ready to handle any Lassa fever infection.
He said Lassa fever remained a major public health challenge in West Africa with Nigeria bearing the highest burden. Adding that more cases were recorded during the dry season i.e. November through May.
The commissioner spoke to journalists in Awka.
“We are at alert and fully prepared to respond to any outbreak of Lassa fever in the state. We have investigated and will continue to investigate rumors of outbreaks,” he said.
