The innocence is off. Imo’s virginity has been broken by a deadly disease. And, perhaps so would the I-don’t-care attitude of most Imo citizens who think Coronavirus is a lie; that it does not exist.
Finally, the state has recorded its first confirmed case of COVID-19.
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, made the announcement on its verified Twitter handle Saturday night.
It said: “One new state, Imo, has reported a confirmed case within 24 hours.
“Till date 1,182 cases have been confirmed nationwide, 222 discharged, 35 deaths recorded in 28 states and the FCT.”
