Five members of the same family, a four month old baby girl and six health workers were among the 20 people who tested positive for coronavirus in Kaduna on Friday, 15 May, 2020, The Gazelle News.com reports.
The state Ministry of Health stated that they were among the 20 new Covid-19 cases reported in the state.
According to the state Commissioner of Health, Dr Amina Mohammed-Baloni, the new Covid-19 patients are all contacts of previously confirmed cases.
The Commissioner stated in statement on Saturday, 16 May, 2020, that the infant is the daughter of a man who has travel history to Kano. The baby was brought to the hospital for respiratory issues, she was subsequently tested and she tested positive. Her parents have also been tested and their results are being awaited as at press time.
“The 20 new cases are spread across seven local government areas. Chikun has seven (including five members of the same family), Giwa recorded four from the Shika community while three cases are in Kaduna North.
“Sabon-Gari and Kaduna South have two cases each, while Igabi and Zaria have one each. Six health workers are among the new cases, underlining the risks associated with containing and managing Covid-19.
“The latest cases show that Covid-19 has spread into nine LGAs: Chikun, Igabi, Giwa, Kaduna North, Kaduna South, Makarfi, Sabon-Gari, Soba and Zaria. This widening spread of COVID-19 means that the risk of infection has increased for persons who do not stay at home or who fail to observe necessary precautions when they go out,” the statement said.
The Commissioner urged Kaduna residents to observe physical distancing and avoid large gatherings.
She added, “Parents are advised to shun non-essential travel or interactions to avoid taking the virus home and infecting their children and loved ones.
“They must also exercise personal responsibility regarding not allowing visitors into their homes. One of the COVID-19 fatalities in the state got infected when he received visitors at home.”
According to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, no fewer than 134 cases of COVID-19 have been recorded in Kaduna.
