Dr Nasiru Sani Gwarzo, leader of the Presidential Task Force
Committee on COVID-19, has said that the novel Coronavirus is responsible for the
mysterious deaths recorded in Kano state in recent times.
Gwarzo who disclosed this to newsmen on Sunday May 3rd, said
tests carried out so far, established that COVID-19 was the cause of the mass
deaths.
“Let me inform us that most of the deaths recorded of recent
and test carried out showed that coronavirus was the cause. So, before the
final report 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.
We need to know what is happening. We are successful in
identifying what the problems are and secondly, we are happy on the level of
cooperation the private sector and other stake holders. Many people have come
out to support the state. We cannot expand our investigation until we are
certain.
We have five cogent reasons to say that the mass death
recorded in Kano is associated with coronavirus” he said
There have been concerns about the COVID-19 cases and the
increasing deaths in the state. President Buhari last week, gave a matching
order to the Gwarzo-led Presidential Task Force to unravel the cause of the
mysterious deaths in Kano and also to contain the spread of the virus in the
state.
