'Females only' COVID-19 isolation centre opened in Kano

A "females only" isolation centre has been opened by the Kano State Government to accommodate female COVID-19 suspects.

During the inspection of the Daula Females Isolation Centre, situated in Nasarawa Local Government Area on Thursday, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje revealed that the centre is fully equipped to function.

"We don’t want to hear any complaints from any patient here, please. You need to understand the psychology of your patients, provide them with the necessary items they may need," Ganduje said.

The governor also acknowledged that there were complaints at some of the isolation centres, noting that the state government had adopted strategies that will find lasting solutions to the complaints.

The governor also urged the patients to "be aware about the procedures. That if they are tested negative for the first time, then they should know that there is hope. And when they are tested negative for the second time, then they are due for discharge."
