The State Governor Mimiko,said there were no new deaths recorded and that the state government was in control of the situation.
Mimiko made the confirmation while fielding questions from newsmen on Wednesday, in Abuja, after he received a letter of recognition of Ondo State University of Medical Sciences from the National Universities Commission (NUC).
He disclosed that the cause of the deaths has been discovered and people were being sensitised on it.
He linked the strange disease that killed several persons in Ode-Irele community in the state to ethanol poison in some local brew.
Mimiko said the preliminary reports have indicated that the cause of the death was “neither infectious nor contagious that gives comfort that it is not an epidemic outbreak”.
