The Kaduna State Ministry of Health has warned that anybody who tests positive for Covid-19 must submit themselves for treatment at the isolation centre.
The Ministry further ‘’warned that it is illegal and dangerous for Covid-19 positive patients to switch off their phones and make themselves inaccessible to health authorities after being notified of their test results.’’
‘’Health officials subsequently notified them that a team will be coming to convey them to the isolation centre for treatment. These persons subsequently switched off their phones and have remained incommunicado,’’ she revealed. ‘’Similar irresponsible conduct by some Covid-19 positive cases has been reported in another state. It is a pattern of behaviour that must be stopped because it is patently dangerous to public safety, ‘’ she warned.
Dr Baloni reiterated that Covid-19 is not a death sentence, adding that ‘’persons who receive treatment promptly have a higher chance of defeating the disease.
