Aminu Tsanyawa, commissioner for health in Kano state, has
recovered from coronavirus.
Muhammad Garba, his information counterpart, broke the news
in a statement on Thursday, saying Tsanyawa is among the 16 patients who were
discharged after testing negative for the disease twice.
Garba said Abdulrazak Habeeb of the department of medicine,
Bayero University, Kano, who is also the co-chair of the state task force on
COVID-19, is among the recovered patients.
This brings to 22, the total number of patients discharged
in the state which has the second highest number of coronavirus patients in the
country.
Garba advised the public to continue to observe the
strictest personal hygiene through regular hand washing, use of face mask and
social distancing.
Kano government had refused to comment on reports that
Tsanyawa had tested positive for the disease.
On April 17, the health commissioner was the one who
announced that three members of the state task force had tested positive for
the virus but he did not go into details.
He did not give details of the officials who tested
positive.
“With a deep sense of sadness and on behalf of the state
government, I hereby announce that the co-chairman and some members of Kano
State Task Force on COVID-19 were tested and three of the results came out
positive for coronavirus,” he had said in a statement.
“Government advises the general public to keep social
distancing, avoid overcrowding and stay at home to keep safe as it continue to
take measures to contain the spread of the disease in the state.”
