Salong thanked the people of the state for their unflinching supports and prayers and warned that the virus is still much around.
The governor, while maintaining that COVID-19 is deadly, admonished the people of Plateau state and Nigeria as a whole to observe all protocols for the prevention of infection and transmission.
He also warned against stigmatization, adding that COVID-19 is not a death sentence as wrongly speculated.
“Having contacted the virus and undergone treatment myself, I wish to reiterate that COVID-19 is not a death sentence as early detection helps to address it and reduce chances of death. “We should not stigmatize anyone who tests positive or is suspected of having the disease.
