Kaduna State Ministry of Health has discharged  three more patients who have recovered from COVID-19, the Commissioner, Dr Amina Mohammed Baloni has said.

In a statement that she personally signed, Dr Baloni said that ‘’the three patients are among the six persons that have tested positive for COVID-19 in the state.’’

According to the Commissioner,  the three patients  have each tested negative for two consecutive tests, and have now been discharged.

The statement reminded that the latest discharge  brings to four,  the number of persons in Kaduna State that have  recovered from COVID-19 last 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,’’ she clarified.

Dr Baloni commended ‘’ 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.’’

The Commissioner reminded  residents of Kaduna State that it is safer and cheaper to observe preventive measures than to treat COVID-19, advising that they should ‘’ wash their hands regularly with soap and water and scrupulously observe social distancing.’’

The statement also advised them  to ‘’avoid large gatherings and stay at home, except it is absolutely necessary to go out. Wherever they are, they should also practise respiratory hygiene.’’
