Solacebase reports that 34 Medical Doctors have also tested positive to COVID-19 in Kano, according to Nigerian Medical Association Chairman, Dr Sanusi Bala.
Comrade Ibrahim Maikarfi Muhammad appealed to the government to provide health professionals with Personal Protective Equipment so as for them to conveniently discharge their responsibility.
‘’Our members needed to be protected as they are ready to support the fight against COVID-19, considering that we are in the fore front of the fight, ‘’said Maikarfi.
God have mercy on the health professionals, they need your protection and anchorage. May the govt have more focus on provision of equipment to work and protect the personnel.
