Baloni said in other to prevent the spread of the disease, all the almajiri children from Kano were kept in one location in order for them not to mingle with people.

The commissioner said the installation of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) machine had commenced at the Yusuf Dantsoho General Hospital at Tudun Wada area of the state capital.

When accredited by the NCDC, the machine used for clinical research will increase to three, the number of COVID-19 testing laboratories activated in Kaduna during this pandemic.
