The Governor said the essence of putting up the isolation and treatment facilities is to prepare the state against the outbreak of the novel Coronavirus and to save lives in case of any eventuality.

Governor Yahaya disclosed that while the state awaits the delivery of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) machine, his administration is engaging the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and World Health Organisation (WHO) to get necessary accreditation to establish a molecular laboratory in the state that could serve as a test centre for as many viruses as possible.

He said the decision to close schools and social centres in the State was to promote social distancing which has so far been proven as an antidote to the spread of the virus.
