COVID-19: Kano Index Case Hid Travel History, Attended Parties — Doctor by Welrez(m): 2:53pm On Apr 16, 2020
A medical doctor, James King, and others who had contact with the coronavirus index case in Kano State, have tested negative for the virus.

King, in a Facebook post on Thursday, narrated how the index case (name withheld) had arrived at the hospital and was later taken into isolation.

The Kano-based doctor explained that the patient withheld information about his recent travel and COVID-19 test, adding that the index case had attended several public events.

According to him, the index case visited the hospital on April 10 with complaints of fever and general body weakness, mouth dryness, loss of appetite.

He said, “It was unknown to us that he was alleged to have travelled abroad too before returning to my resident state via Abuja travelling by road. While travelling by road he stayed briefly in Kaduna before arriving at my resident state on the 25th March 2020.

“He denied all this travel history to us. He also denied having the pertinent coronavirus symptoms — breathlessness and cough. He also hid the fact that he had been to several medical outlets since his return to the state.

“And importantly, he did not provide information that his samples were taken by NCDC for COVID-19 testing before coming to us.”

King added that the patient claimed to have felt ill for a few days and denied symptoms of cough, breathlessness or palpitations.

“Of course, he denied all the above in order for him to have our medical care, putting us all and many others at high risk of the novel pandemic. Many other medical questions were asked and documented.
