The Kaduna State on Friday said three patients have recovered from Covid-19 .

The Commissioner for Health, Dr Amina Mohammed Boloni explained that the three patients are among the six persons that have tested positive for Covid-19 in the state.

The Commissioner who made the disclosure in a statement issued on Friday said all the three have tested negative for two consecutive tests, and have now been discharged.

“This brings to four the number of persons Kaduna State has discharged this week.

“There are now only two cases of Covid-19 that are yet to be discharged and we look forward to being able to do soon.

” I wish to acknowledge the sterling efforts of the medical team, surveillance teams, members of the Emergency Operations Committee and other stakeholders involved in the efforts of the Ministry of Health to manage and contain Covid-19,” she said.

Amina reminded residents of the State that it is safer and cheaper to observe preventive measures than to treat Covid-19, further advising them to wash their hands regularly with soap and water and scrupulously observe social distancing.

She urged them to also avoid large gatherings and stay at home, except it is absolutely necessary to go out.
