• At Last, Benue Index Patient Accepts To Be Tested, Result Being Awaited
This, according to him, indicated that a critical element of taming the pandemic is to reduce opportunities for large gathering, sustaining the ban on inter-state movement and the nationwide curfew, as well as complying with the measures prescribed, such as washing of hands as frequently as necessary, using hand sanitiser, maintenance of social distancing, use of face mask in public places.
“Going forward, science and statistics shall play major roles in the decisions to be taken. Similarly, community engagement shall become a strategy of focus for the PTF.” Mustapha noted that the PTF had received media reports about an extrapolated level of prevalence of COVID-19 in Kano based on the number of some foreign nationals that have been evacuated from Nigeria, saying its team of experts were still on ground in Kano and were working round the clock, alongside the teams from the state, based on scientific and statistical analysis.
He noted that while a patient might disclose his/her result by him/herself, the ministry cannot do so, except with the permission of the one concerned. He noted that a strategy document of National Primary Healthcare Development Agency was being developed and repurposed for application to Kano, as well as similar high density, high burden metropolis, such as Lagos, to respond more specifically to the challenges of COVID-19 tracing, tracking, testing, isolation and treatment in congested communities.
