Kaduna State Government has announced that two persons infected with coronavirus disease have fled from self-isolation in the state.
Confirming the report, the state Commissioner for Health, Dr Amina Mohammed-Baloni explained that the patients were to be moved to isolation centre after being informed that they had tested positive for the virus but fled their homes.
Mohammed-Baloni who described the act as irresponsible, said it had become a pattern that must be stopped because it was dangerous to public safety.
She further urged members of the public, who have information about their whereabouts, to contact appropriate authorities.
“Security agencies are tracking two persons who, after isolating in their homes pending receipt of their test results, fled their homes and have been incommunicado since being informed that they had tested positive and would be moved to the KDSG isolation centre for treatment,” she said.
“This reckless action is endangering themselves, their families and the larger community.
“Similar irresponsible conduct by some COVID-19 positive cases has been reported in another state.
“Details of the two persons involved have been communicated to the security agencies for tracking and surveillance.
“Members of the public who may have relevant information on the whereabouts of these persons are urged to promptly contact the authorities.”
