COVID-19: Jigawa records first death
The state’s Commissioner for Health, Abba Zakari, said “Immediately after we got results of Jigawa, we swiftly moved to action and evacuated the patients into the isolation centre. Unfortunately one of them came in a very bad situation and passed away.”
The official said the state government has locked down the affected local government areas. This, he said, will aid the health workers to trace the primary and secondary contacts of the infected persons. “We’ve been limited by testing, we are discussing with a private laboratory in Kaduna which is accredited by the NCDC, the laboratory has the capacity to do 2000 test per day, but with a price, we are negotiating, we would likely test all our suspected cases at the isolation centre,” Mr Zakari said.
