The Kaduna State Ministry of Health has announced the discharge of three COVID-19 patients who have recovered from the disease.
The state Commissioner of Health, Dr. Amina Mohammed-Baloni, in a statement Friday, said the three patients were among the six persons that have tested positive for COVID-19 in the state.
“They have each tested negative for two consecutive tests, and have now been discharged,” the statement explained.
The Commissioner said, “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 so soon.”
She added, “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 explained that the Kaduna State Government wishes to remind residents of the state that it is safer and cheaper to observe preventive measures than to treat COVID-19.
“Citizens are advised to wash their hands regularly with soap and water and scrupulously observe social distancing. They should also avoid large gatherings and stay at home, except it is absolutely necessary to go out. Wherever they are, they should also practice respiratory hygiene,” she advised.
