Leader of the Presidential Task Force Committee on COVID-19, Dr. Nasiru Sani Gwarzo, said yesterday, that coronavirus pandemic was responsible for the spate of deaths recorded in Kano in the last three weeks.
He said the committee’s report was based on investigation conducted on the development.
Gwarzo, who disclosed this while speaking with newsmen at the ceremony where Alhaji Aliko Dangote donated mobile testing laboratory facilities to Kano State government, said: “Let me inform us that most of the deaths recorded of recent and test carried out showed that coronavirus is the cause.
“So, before the final reports, which would be ready in the next one week or few days, it is necessary for people of Kano to wake up from their slumber that this is a serious issue.
“It is not a new thing, countries like America, China, Italy, Spain, England, France and others experienced similar mysterious deaths.’’
Earlier while handing over the mobile testing centre to the state government, the representative of Aliko Dangote Foundation, Zouerra Issouffou, said the donation was to compliment the effort of the government in the fight against the pandemic in the state.
