Kaduna State Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai has gone into self-isolation pending the outcome of his Covid-19 test results.
“I have been notified of more positive Covid-19 test results of persons close to me, including an immediate family member and senior officials of the Kaduna State Government.
I am therefore in self-isolation and hope to be tested by Sunday. This is purely a precautionary move that complies with the standard Covid-19 protocols. There will be another update when the test results are ready.
“I appeal to every resident of Kaduna State to observe and abide by the preventive protocols against Covid-19, especially wearing facemasks, avoiding large gatherings, practising physical distancing and washing their hands regularly,” El-Rufai said
El-Rufai had on Wednesday threatened to impose another lockdown on Kaduna State if the number of Covid-19 infections continue to spread.
