Kaduna state has recorded its first death from COVID-19 pandemic out of the 35 cases recorded in the state so far. The state’s Commissioner for Health, Dr Amina
Baloni, said in a statement on Saturday that the
deceased male patient was one of the three
COVID-19 cases that were confirmed in the state on
Thursday, April the 30th. According to Dr Baloni, the deceased was a retired
civil servant with underlying medical conditions,
who concealed his recent travel to Kano when he
visited a public hospital and then a private hospital. The man was eventually admitted at the isolation
centre with respiratory distress where he died. Dr Baloni said the man’s family had been informed
of his demise and has since been buried according
to the burial protocol of the NCDC. As a result of the development, health officials in
the state are decontaminating the two hospitals
that the deceased visited, while workers who
attended to him have been isolated, as well as his
family members. The commissioner also announced that the testing
of 167 almajiri children from Kano for COVID-19
pandemic has been completed and their results are
being awaited. She, however, expressed concern that the number
of positive cases from this group may rise beyond
the 21 recorded before the completion of testing
for this category of persons. The commissioner appealed to citizens who suspect
that they have been exposed to Covid-19 to avoid
infecting others. Rather, they should follow the
safety protocol of isolating themselves at home and
contacting health officials. She said, “Concealing relevant information and
engaging in conduct that exposes others to the
risk of infection constitutes a danger to the
community and is regarded as wilful and reckless
endangerment of the well-being and lives of other
citizens. Such conduct contravenes the provisions of the Quarantine Orders and could lead to
prosecution. “The Ministry of Health wishes to remind the
general public of the importance of hand-washing,
personal hygiene, social distancing and the
avoidance of large gatherings in helping protect us
all from Covid-19. Residents should wear
facemasks when leaving their homes and should wash their hands when they return home”.

.....he concealed his recent travel to Kano..... And had visited several private hospitals. Is there any end to this wahala soon?

Now all those who attended to him in those private hospitals will have to be isolated, samples taken to be tested.

And tomorrow when the results are released someone will say "AUDIO, SCAM,I went to the testing centre it was not crowded. I live opposite NCDC office, I did not see anybody", blah, blah, blah.

It is crazy.. I really cannot understand why anyone would conceal such information. Is it wickedness or ignorance?

May his soul rest in peace.
