The Health Commissioner dispel the rumour of a video clip being circulated on social media purporting an alleged COVID-19 patient being evacuated by health workers in Sabon Gari area of the state.
According to the Commissioner, ‘’To keep the record straight and dispel the rumour going round, a call was received at the COVID-19 Call Centre of a sick person suspected to be having the virus upon which a Rapid Response Team of public health personnel was immediately mobilized to the location at Ijebu Road in Sabon Gari. The suspected case was identified and his sample taken for examination, the result of which came out negative.’’
Dr Aminu Ibrahim Tsanyawa, therefore appealed to the general public to disregard the purported news of a confirmed case of COVID 19 in Kano as it is unfounded and a lie being circulated with malicious intent.
