Following the reported cases of Lassa fever in some parts of the country, the Anambra State commissioner for Health, Dr. Joe Akabuike has prohibited the drinking of garri in the state as a measure to prevent the contraction of Lassa fever.
Speaking in an interview in Awka, on Tuesday, Akabuike urged residents of the state to be mindful of the kind of garri they consume in view of the prevalence of Lassa fever being recorded across the country and specifically warned against the purchase of garri from certain parts of the country where the produce was usually exposed to all forms of contamination.
He, however, assured the people of the state that there was no need to panic over the outbreak of the dreaded disease in some states of the federation, explaining that the state Ministry of Health was battle ready to ensure the epidemic did not permeate into Anambra State.

ReplyDeletePeople can still drink garri and be safe. All you need do is allow your garri pass through heat by refrying when you want to drink it.
