The Kano State Government has announced plans to enforce compulsory use of face masks as a bid to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the state.

Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the state governor, made this disclosed in a statement during a media session on the update of the state’s fight against COVID-19.

According to the governor, the policy will go into effect as soon as the state gets a targeted number of face masks on ground.

Ganduje also decried how some residents have continued to violate the social distancing order which is meant to address the situation.
