Katsina State Ministry of Health has recorded a first suspected case of coronavirus, the permanent secretary Dr Kabir Musptapha has said.

Briefing news men this morning, Mustapha said the patient, who is presently in self isolation, returned from Malaysia and developed symptoms that warrant further investigations. “Already, his samples have been taken and results being expected tomorrow.

The contact tracing will commence as soon as results are out,” he said. He noted that the ministry is taking all precautionary measures and closely working with National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) on the matter.

The permanent secretary advised people of the host community of Dutsinma town to be cautious of movements and gatherings. He added that people should feel free to seek medical attention as all precautionary measures were in place to provide support.

Chai...If this virus enters the north,it will be so hard to contain

Not to degrade anyone,but some northerners are so dirty and cluster around each other in hundreds,they move around in groups...from the almajiris to their menial job seekers,they will even run from isolation and prefer being around in the street.
People who prefer the almajiri way to schooling

God help Nigeria!!
