“Most of the people who died were elderly persons, without going to the hospital.

“The pathologists will get samples of some of the dead persons to confirm whether it is as a result of COVID-19 or not,” he said.

On COVID-19, the governor said that the state government now has about 400 samples waiting for testing by Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).

He urged the security agents to continue to enforce measures taken to prevent the spread of the disease by enforcing restrictions on interstate movement and inter-local government movement.

The governor also urged residents to continue to be law-abiding as the measures being taken were in everyone’s best interests.

Masari revealed that the mobile courts would continue to enforce compliance on the restriction of movements of people from one local government area to another.

He added that interstate movement would continue to be prohibited for now, until the situation improved. (NAN)

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is valuable and all. However think about if you added some great images or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!

    Your content is excellent but with images and clips,
    this site could certainly be one of the best in its niche.
    Wonderful blog!
