Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, said he infected four persons in the state with coronavirus, all of whom have since recovered from the disease.
El-Rufai disclosed, at the 24th edition of The Platform hosted by Pastor Poju Oyemade, that the state had tested about 400 people and now has three testing centres.
The governor said the spike in the number of COVID-19 cases in the state have largely been the almajiris and other people that have come in, adding that out of the 169 kids deported from Kano, 21 of them have so far tested positive for the virus.
He stated: “As I announced some days back, we received 169 almajiris from Kano and so far 21 of them have tested positive. We expect more to test positive; the spike in our numbers have largely been the almajiris and other people that have come in.
“We have been successful in closing down our state, in reducing the traffic into our state, every case in the state has been imported.
“I was the first case, fortunately, I’d say, because it served to scare everyone about reality. COVID is real, it’s not a joke. I was the first case, I got it in Abuja and infected four other people, all of us are okay now.”
