The Deputy Incidence Manager on Covid-19 Response in Gombe State, Dr Joshua Abubakar, has said most of the active cases in the state are not severe, adding that for non-severe cases, home treatment is
allowed.
Abubakar disclosed this on Tuesday while answering questions on why the state isolation centres remained scanty. He said out of 33 recently confirmed cases, six were identified as health workers, noting that they were asymptomatic. Abubakar said, “We realised it is even better; we usually visit them at home. Unless we see that the house is overcrowded, then we advise the patients to come to the hospital.
“Majority of them do not have symptoms. Out of the 33 we got recently, 16 of them are in Bajoga, six are health care workers and none of them have the symptoms. We just asked them to stay at home, as long as we find the home convenient. But if there is overcrowding, especially someone with many children, we ask that they be isolated in the hospital.”All rights reserved.
