Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has stated that the state government is counting on the cooperation of citizens in containing the surge in Covid-19 infections.
He said that a lockdown is not the immediate focus of the Kaduna State.
The governor, who made the appeal during a media chat with some broadcast-journalists in Hausa on Wednesday night, noted that the spike in infection is as a result of lack of adherence to Covid-19 preventive measures.
“We are calling on all our citizens to join us to fight Covid-19 and save lives without having a lockdown. We think there are lots of simpler things citizens and businesses can do that can help reduce the spread of the disease.’’
