Jigawa laments rapid community transmission of COVID-19, 'strange deaths'

The Jigawa State Government on Tuesday announced that coronavirus is rapidly infecting its people at the community level, thus endangering the lives of many

“The 32 new cases in Jigawa are not from returned Almajiris. These are community transmissions from the cases recorded. Numbers will continue to rise as long as we don’t complement government efforts with prayers, staying at home, observing social distancing and hand washing,” an aide to the Jigawa governor, Zakari Kafin-Hausa, said.

The state governor, Muhammad Badaru, on Tuesday, lamented that some of the citizens see coronavirus as a “fairy tale”. He said this attitude may lead to more infections in the state. Mr Badaru said out of the 57 samples taken from contacts of the initial five infected persons in the state, 32 had returned positive.
