  Health  authorities in Cross River State have debunked claims of 10 new cases of COVID-19, affirming that only one person has been diagnosed with the disease in the state. The  Cross River State Commissioner for Health, Henry Ayuk, made the clarification on Thursday during an interview with the newsmen. “I  want to use this opportunity to tell Nigerians that the information that has gone around that 10 more cases have been identified in Cross River is not correct; we have only one case,” Ayuk said. Ayuk said the misinformation likely arose from reports that 10 contacts had been identified, which may have been interpreted as confirmed cases by the media. His comment came after a fresh case of COVID-19 was confirmed in Cross River after years of the pandemic that has led to the death of millions worldwide. The virus was confirmed in a Chinese man who arrived in Nigeria from China on March 17 and flew to Calabar for his work before he tested positive for the viru...
