The Commissioner of Health for Kaduna State, Dr Amina Mohammed-Baloni, said one more patient has recovered out of the six COVID-19 cases that were earlier recorded in the state.
The commissioner in a statement on Wednesday said the latest discharge brought to five the number of patients discharged since 14 April, 2020.
The Commissioner said among the three new cases is a 23-year-old male “who came into the state from Istanbul via Dubai sometime in March”.According to her, the second patient is a 51-year-old male who was tested in Samaru, Sabon-Gari Local Government Area, after coming in from Kano. “These new cases reflect the danger that interstate travels pose to efforts to contain COVID-19,” she said, warning that “such travels spread the virus from place to place, complicate contact tracing and risk implanting the virus in communities.”
