Kaduna had over 600 repatriated almajirai in quarantine and is awaiting over 200 more from Plateau State
The Kaduna State Government on Sunday said it has discharged 210 out of the 680 almajiris under quarantine in the state.
Mrs Baba said the children were among those repatriated to the state from Kano and other northern states. The Kaduna official said the discharged children would be taken to their local government chairpersons who would in turn seek out their parents and hand the children over to them. “Those that tested positive have been isolated but those discharged are free to go home and reunite with their family,” she said.
PREMIUM TIMES reported how 40 out of the 148 almajiriai received by Kano have tested positive for the new coronavirus. The results for about 500 others in the group are being awaited. “The way we are sending back almajiris to their states of origin, we are also receiving almajiris from other states who are Kano indigenes. But the fact that we are not making noise about it does not mean they are all healthy without COVID-19 infections,” the governor added.
