To curtail the spread of the virus in the state, President Muhammadu Buhari has announced a two-week total lockdown in the state, as a reinforcement on the earlier one announced by Kano State government
The President also deployed a special team of health professionals to come and assist Kano state government in fighting COVID-19. PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday reported how ten medical doctors tested positive for COVID-19 while treating patients at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital. The chairman of the hospital’s branch of the Association of Resident Doctors, Abubakar Nagoma, attributed the vulnerability of the doctors to non-use of face masks by patients when coming to hospitals and lack of adequate personal protective equipment for doctors.
