In an update by the Commissioner of Health, Dr Amina Mohammed-Baloni, out of the 232 cases reported, 149 have been discharged, while seven deaths have been recorded.

She said that the state has tested almost 2, 000 samples, warning that “case numbers are likely to rise further as more tests are conducted in more places.”

COVID-19 cases have been recorded in 33 wards in nine local government areas of the state: Chikun, Giwa, Igabi, Kaduna North, Kaduna South, Makarfi, Sabon-Gari, Soba and Zaria. The data showed that 80 per cent of the infected persons are male.’’

However, the latest data from NCDC indicate that as of Saturday 30 May 2020, Kaduna State has recorded 244 coronavirus cases, 80 of which are still active, while 157 cases have been discharged. Seven patients from the state lost their lives to the Covid-19.

On the sources of infection, Dr Amina Mohammed-Balonito stated that most of the cases either have a history of interstate travel or are contacts of infected persons.

In addition to public health warnings to avoid interstate travel, state health officials have been engaged in vigorous contact tracing to contain the spread of the infections.

The Ministry has further stepped up active case searching and testing in communities to stem secondary infections.”

Mohammed-Baloni added that the testing capacity of the state “is being enhanced to enable more aggressive testing in the coming weeks.”
