We have an estimated population of seven million people, but we have been able to procure three million PPE, which has cost us about N1bn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The SSG said the PPE would still be useful after the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>He said the state had been proactive, hence its zero record of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>Chukwulobelu said, \u201cAll the cases we have sent for test have turned out negative. This is attributable to the state Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, who has spared nothing to ensure the protection of the people of the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll our samples have been negative. In fact, we almost went into panic last week over a case, but when the result came out, it was negative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe governor has done so much. For now, we are focusing on prevention, and we have largely succeeded. We don\u2019t want protection and treatment for now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy next week, we should be able to start testing people. All these things involve money and we urge people to donate to the state government<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Anambra State Government says it has spent about N1bn in procuring personal protective equipment against coronavirus.
