The Osun State government has embarked on assessment of foreigners in mining sites as proactive and preventive measures to forestall the spread of Coronavirus to the state.
The exercise, championed by the state Ministry of Health, was part of the government’s strategies to curtail the influx of foreigners and illegal miners into the state who were perceived to be the source of the spread of the disease.
Addressing journalists during the campaign to some of the mining sites at Ogbagba community in Ife-South Local Government Area, the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Rafiu Isamotu, said the exercise was aimed at identifying Chinese and other immigrants in order to ensure that the state is free from Coronavirus and other diseases ravaging the world.
