The Ogun State government has deployed a mobile application for residents to undergo assessment on an individual basis in the event of being infected with COVID-19.

This comes a month after the state launched an updated mobile application for health workers which has been deployed to all government and private health facilities across its 20 local government areas to aid information sharing.

The Commissioner for Health, Dr TOMI COKER, confirmed the latest development in a statement.

She stressed that the new application, Ogun COVID-19 Assessment, was not for diagnostic purpose but to determine the risk of residents’ exposure to the disease.

Dr COKER explained that responses would be monitored on the State Ministry of Health’s dashboard.

The commissioner urged residents to take advantage of the mobile application and assured them that the Governor DAPO ABIODUN-led administration was putting measures in place to contain the disease.
