Baloni commended “the dedicated contributions of our various teams that are contributing to our collective Covid-19 efforts. We also wish to pay tribute to the medical professionals at the Infectious Disease Centre for the successful management of this patient.”
“The Ministry of Health wishes to remind residents of Kaduna State that it is safer and cheaper to observe preventive measures than to treat Covid-19. Citizens must wash their hands regularly with soap and water and scrupulously observe social distancing.
“They are also advised to avoid large gatherings and stay at home, except it is absolutely necessary to go out. Wherever they are, they should also practise respiratory hygiene,” she advised.
As a measure to curb the spread of the disease, the government placed a ban on movement but later gave residents of the state a two-day window every week to enable residents to buy food and other essential commodities.
Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, also approved the release of 72 inmates from both the Kaduna and Kafanchan correctional centres.
