“These persons subsequently switched off their phones and have remained incommunicado.”
Kaduna State Government has begun searching for two COVID-19 patients who fled isolation centres where they were being treated.
The commissioner said the details of the two persons involved have been communicated to the security agencies for tracking and surveillance. She said it is mandatory for anyone who tested positive for Covid-19 to submit themselves for treatment at the isolation centre as it is illegal and dangerous for such persons to switch off their phones and make themselves inaccessible to health authorities after being notified of their test results.
Although El-Rufai said the experience was not one he wishes his enemy, he, however, said the disease should not be seen as the end for anyone who contracts it.
