Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina State has directed the lockdown of Malumfashi Local Government Area from 7 am on May 7.

The Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Mustapha Inuwa, made this known in a statement made available to journalists on Tuesday in Katsina.

He said that the lockdown followed receipt of some results from the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), which confirmed that some persons tested positive to COVID-19 in the area.

Inuwa said that the order was also in line with the decision already taken by the state government and other stakeholders to shutdown any local government area where COVID-19 cases were established.

According to him, the decision was taken in the best interest of the people of Malumfashi local government area and humanity at large.

The SSG urged people of the state to strictly adhere to the guidelines of health experts against the spread of the Novel COVID-19 virus.
