Bauchi House of Assembly Speaker Contracts ‘Apollo’ as Contagious Eye Infection Spreads Across State
A highly contagious eye infection popularly known as “Apollo” is spreading across Bauchi State, with the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Abubakar Suleiman, among those affected.
Suleiman disclosed the development in a Facebook post on Sunday, stating that he woke up with the infection and calling on residents to take precautions to curb its further spread.
“By God’s grace, I woke up today with a highly contagious eye infection commonly known as ‘Apollo,’ which is currently spreading across Bauchi State,” he wrote.
Expressing concern over the outbreak, the Speaker urged the public to remain vigilant and prioritise hygiene. “I urge everyone to be vigilant, maintain good hygiene, and take appropriate preventive measures to help stop the further spread of the infection within the community,” he said.
He also advised residents to avoid sharing personal items that could facilitate transmission of the infection.
Apollo, medically known as conjunctivitis, is a contagious eye condition that spreads through contact with infected persons or contaminated surfaces and personal items.
