Kano now has 59
confirmed cases of the virus, a geometric progression from when the index case
in the state was first reported on April 11.
Ganduje on Tuesday
said peculiar situations required peculiar regulations and processes while
addressing head of the NCDC, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, during a visit to Kano.
He said, “We are
doing as much as we can to tame the situation. That is why those suspected
cases that are less privileged, we take them to a hotel after taking their
samples, to keep them there.
“There is a need to
increase our capacity for testing our suspected cases. At the same time, we
also need more collection centres.”
