Following the outbreak of monkey pox in more states, the Osun State Government has set up three quarantine centres as measures to control the disease in case of an outbreak in the state.
The state Commissioner for Health, Dr Rafiu Isamotu, disclosed this at a news conference on Tuesday in Osogbo.
There have been reported cases of outbreak of monkey pox in seven states, including Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Ogun and Lagos. Isamotu said two of the quarantine centres were located in Irepodun Local Government Area and the other, in Boripe Local Government.
He said though there had been no reported case of the disease in the state, government had put all its surveillance officials on a red alert.
The commissioner also said that the state government would train its health officials on how to handle patients in case of any incident.
