The Health Commissioner advised members of the public to go about their normal duties while ensuring that they imbibe and practice good personal and environmental hygiene to guard agains contracting Lassa Fever.

She commended Healthcare Professionals in the State for their tenacity and enjoined them to continue to be on red alert at all times in spite of the current result of the test to checkmate any emergencies.
