Speaking during the inauguration of the COVID-19 Response Team at the Government House in Calabar, Governor Ben Ayade said the move is part of proactive measures to curtail the outbreak.

According to Governor Ayade, the mandate of the Response Team is to safeguard the state against the global scourge.
