Governor Ganduje of Kano State has said the situation in
Kano State was becoming terrible by the day as cases of COVID-19 pandemic
continue to increase in the state.
This is as the state took samples of fresh 44 persons for
testing, while issue of deaths among the elderly has not been settled.
“But as the situation gets serious, we are surely on top of
it, but this requires putting up a testing machine in Kano by the federal
government.
Governor Ganduje, however, assured that nobody that tested
positive was in serious need of a ventilator; hence the situation is still
manageable.
He said in order to punish offenders of the current
lockdown, they have established ten mobile courts to try anybody found wanting.
Dr Tijjani Hussain, the State Coordinator COVID-19 Rapids
Response, explained that the state NCDC centre at the Aminu Kano Teaching
Hospital was locked down because the place is currently undergoing a 74 hours
fumigation exercise.
Tijjani noted that in the last two days, they recorded 44
suspects, bringing the total suspects whose samples were taken to Abuja to 489
with 74 confirmed positives.
Ganduje explained that they usually transport the samples of
suspected cases to Abuja which takes almost 7 hours and in most cases, the
samples get wasted, forcing them to look for other samples.
Governor Ganduje who commended Kano people for observing the
total lockdown said the initiative was the only remedy to stop the pandemic.
“We are appealing to the federal government to as they
support Lagos and Ogun States also come to the rescue of Kano State quickly.”
This development came as the state lost so many persons of
prominent positions in the state.
