Making this disclosure on Monday was a top official of the Oyo State Government who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity.

He said, “There are fears that the UCH, which is supposed to be a research and treatment centre, might be putting a lot of people of the state at the risk of COVID-19 infection going by the trend and pattern of the disease in Oyo State.

The UCH is already giving us a cause for concern over the spread of COVID-19 whereas it is supposed to be a plus as a prime health centre. Statistics available to Oyo State now is that 44 per cent of all cases are traceable to the UCH. The data show that seven out of the total 16 cases in the state are traceable to the UCH.”

However, the Public Relations Officer of the UCH, Toye Akinrinlola, said he could not react to the allegation on the grounds that it was a policy matter. “Only the CMD has the capacity to react to issues like this,” he said.
