The Ekiti Government has said efforts are being made to work with its Kwara counterpart on the medical history of the patient who died of underlining complications from COVID-19 in the state.
The 75-old -year woman who died in one of the state's health institutions was referred from a public hospital in Kwara.
Ekiti Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Dr Mojisola Yaya-Kolade, disclosed this in Ado Ekiti on Friday when the COVID- 19 Taskforce was giving an update on the pandemic.
She said the deceased had been hospitalised at the General Hospital in Omu Aran, Kwara, where she was initially treated for cardiac-related issues.
She said:
"After they suspected COVID- 19, the deceased was referred to Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido Ekiti, on May 14.
" She was treated for two days in isolation before the state was informed and specimen collected.
" The result came on May 20 and unfortunately the woman died.
" We have been able to establish that the deceased came from Ayedun in Kwara and she was not infected here in Ekiti.
"As of now, Ekiti has no problem , the only problem we have is the people coming or sneaking into Ekiti illegally and only two Coronavirus fatalities have been recorded".
Also speaking, the Director General , Office of Transformation, Strategy and Delivery, Prof. Bolaji Aluko, said the security situation in Ekiti remained stable with no further cases of incursion from neighbouring states.
