[b][/b]- The sixth confirmed COVID-19 case in Kaduna state is a gateman who had just returned from Lagos state, Kaduna health commissioner said
- The health commissioner, Baloni, said the gateman travelled via public transport and reported himself after his symptoms worsened
- Baloni said the latest case presents the possibility of community transmission as the gateman, adding that tracing his contacts may be difficult as he travelled via public transport
A gateman in Kaduna state has tested positive for
COVID-19, the state government has announced on
Saturday, April 11. The gatekeeper whose name was not disclosed
recently returned from Lagos state and has no
connection to the first five confirmed cases in the
state, Premium Times reports, citing a statement by
Amina Baloni, the Kaduna commissioner for health.
She said with the latest case, the number of
confirmed cases in the state as of Friday, April 10, was six.
The commissioner said that the latest case ‘’is a male
who worked as a gateman in the Mando area and
recently returned from Lagos.‘’
According to Baloni, the gateman had ‘’traveled to
Kaduna on public transport and made contact with
the authorities as his symptoms worsened. The
patient has been evacuated to the state’s Infectious
Disease Centre.” She noted that the latest case indicates the
possibility of community transmission of COVID-19
in the state. ‘’It is very difficult and complicated to trace the
contacts of a patient who came from Lagos via
public transport and had some instance of local
commuting since his arrival,” she said.
She, however, said efforts are already ongoing to
trace his contacts and monitor them to avoid
contagion.
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that there was confusion in Kurmi Kaduna community in Igabi local
government area of Kaduna state on Wednesday,
April 8, when the family of a Lagos-returnee fled as
the 27-year-old presented feverish symptoms.
Members of the community were more confused as
family members of the man who returned from
Lagos on Sunday, April 5, deserted their home after
the returnee displayed feverish symptom similar to
coronavirus. Liman Hamsu, the Kurmin Kaduna village head, said
the family members ran away from the house when
the man showed symptoms of high fever, thinking
he had contracted coronavirus. In another report, Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo is
making an appeal to all Christians in Nigeria over the Easter celebration. The singer called on Nigerians to stay at home
during the celebration. People all over the world have been advised to stay
at home to prevent a further spread of the
coronavirus pandemic and also to be able to
effectively take care of patients. However, in Nigeria, this rule is not being obeyed to the letter. Many Nigerians have been spotted
carrying on their daily activities unbothered.
As the coronavirus cases increase in other
countries, some Nigerians are of the fear that
people in the country are not taking the
pandemic seriously.

when this thing start moving to the poor, then it becomes scary

Hmm

From the activities of the virus, we are confident that God is definitely not behind it. And knowing this, we can be bold enough to reject it from our lives. By prayer and by common sense!

By prayer here, I mean praying for yourself and members of your family. That their lives are spared from this virus and every other one out there. That no harm by any means come upon them.

By Common sense.. Take Responsibility! Prevent coronavirus by cleaning all surfaces frequently. High-contact surfaces include door handles, stair rails and tables. Wash your hands frequently with soap under running water. Avoid touching your face & high-contact surfaces to prevent from coronavirus.

Stay Safe..

And some still say Covid 19 is audio in Nigeria?

Some still believe in the 5G theory!

Some believe the government just dey Bobo us to collect money!

We pray the ignorant suffers his ignorance, arrogance and recklessness alone!
