1 Dr. Nasir Sani-Gwarzo of the Federal Delegation to Kano confirms on #BBCHausa that Kano has extensive community transmission of #Covid-19 and all hands must be on deck to combat the pandemic. #KanoCombatsCovid19
2 Clinics and doctors are refusing to treat patients because they lack protective equipment, this must be addressed urgently by Federal and State Governments & private persons and companies with means. Testing and contact tracing must accelerate. #KanoCombatsCovid19
3 NCDC call centre not working effectively. A more robust system is necessary. Triage system where patients can be sorted out needed the sick questioning why calls when they need to see a doctor. Isolation centre beds only 274 grossly insufficient. #KanoCombatsCovid19
4 Lockdown not operating correctly as no effective physical distancing. Congregation prayers, except for Fridays still going on in mosques. Weekly market day is massive source of infection due to overcrowding. Makes more sense to have more market days. #KanoCombatsCovid19
5 Funerals attracting large crowds of bereaved, State Government should step up and impose WHO burial protocol. Neighbourhood playgrounds attracting large crowds of players and on watchers, this must stop. #KanoCombatsCovid19
6 #Kano is becoming the new world epicentre of #Covid19. The world must focus efforts to save inhabitants of 3 local governments at the centre of the #Covid-19 epidemic – Municipal, Dala and Gwale. #KanoCombatsCovid19
