The Kano State Government has asked people to stay safe after results of nine Coronavirus suspects came out negative.

 

The government further disclosed that it has dumped the Yargaya
Isolation Center for lack of basic equipment for a Pfizer built
hospital.

 

The Yargaya isolation center had been publicized as fully ready for
COVID 19 outbreak management but was subsequently rejected after series
of investigations exposed the unreadiness of the centre.

 

The State Governor, Ganduje has now approved the Dawakin Kudu Pfizer Isolation Centre which is a 70-bed facility.

 

However, the state Commissioner for Health, Dr Aminu Ibrahim
Tsanyawa told newsmen that the Yargaya centre could have been managed if
there was an emergency.

“had it even been there was an outbreak of a patients on the COVID 19, we will have still managed the Yargaya Isolation center”.

 

Ibrahim Tsanyawa insisted that Ganduje government is doing a lot to ensure that Kano is free from the COVID 19 Pandemic.

 

He said Ganduje has commended all health workers in the state who
are working round the clock as part of the proactive measures taken
against the fear and unwanted spread of COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The Kwanar Dawaki Diagnosis Centre, serves as the second Isolation
Centre which has 70 beds capacity with 15 Wards and 2 Intensive Care
Units with 7 beds capacity each.

 

At Kwanar Dawaki Centre there are 27 Ventilators, 14 out this are
standby and 13 are mobile. There are 20 Oxygen Concentrators with all
other equipment that are needed. And all the machines are functional
that are ready to manage any eventuality.

 

While all Wards are piped with Oxygen, water supply is effective
and efficient with good conveniences. As power supply is also very
encouraging.

 

In his remarks during the visit governor Ganduje expressed his
gratitude to Almighty Allah for making Kano one of the states that
COVID-19 did not strike, adding that “Though we can say we are prepared but we are still not praying for any patient to be here.”

 

He used the opportunity to reiterate government’s resolve to close
all borders linking the state at 12 midnight, Friday, emphasising that
“We are doing our best to see that we take all the necessary measures
against this deadly COVID-19. We urge people to continue praying for
Allah’s protection.”

“I want to thank our health workers and all other stakeholders
for their immense support in this all-important effort. Special thanks
goes to the State Task Force on COVID-19, that is chaired by the Deputy
Governor, Dr Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna and Co-chaired by Professor Abdulrazaq
Garba Habib, from Bayero University, Kano, a renowned academic of global
repute.”

 

He urged people to observe social distancing and hand washing with soap and running water. Adding that “…hand sanitizer is very crucial. I also urge people to always take advice from health professionals.”

 

It is noteworthy to understand that Kano as of now, has 3 Isolation
Centres. These are Kwanar Dawaki Diagnosis Centre, ‘Yar Gaya Isolation
Centre and Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital. While the State Infectious
Diseases Hospital (IDH) is about to be considered as another Isolation
Centre.
