The management of Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun State has frowned at the news of an outbreak of Covid-19 on its campus as reported by some media houses recently.
The report according to the institution has the potential of undermining its efforts at safeguarding the health of the nation through free medical services being provided by Its African Centre of Excellence for Genomics of Infectious Diseases.
Recall that the Osun State Government had on Thursday while giving analysis of its new COVID-19 cases said two of the patients were from the university.
According to a statement by the university’s Corporate Affairs Head, Mr. Adetunji Adeleye, “the institution as part of its routine check discovered through its clinical testing that one of its clients living outside campus has been exposed to covid-19 and immediately activated all the mechanisms put in place to safeguard its spread and subjected all those people who might have had any contact with him directly or indirectly to necessary testing in order to ensure the safety of our environment.”
