The Katsina State committee on COVID-19 headed by Deputy Governor Manir
Yakubu, has called on citizens to report any returnee from Lagos and
Abuja.
The chairman of the sensitisation sub-committee and
Commissioner for Information, Hadi Mohamed Serika, told reporters on
Tuesday, that the house to house search for returnees have become
necessary because some of them escaped and evaded screening at the
border.
He said; “the committee has been receiving calls from
members of the public reporting people suspected to be living with the
virus. He said the committee is liaising with the Technical and
Emergency response committee to ensure that such people are identified,
isolated and their samples taken for testing.”
“Since the
emergence of the index case, the Katsina State government has remained
focused and committed to its cause in curtailing the further spread of
the virus, identifying possible suspects, isolating ND testing them.”
