Coronavirus: Kaduna goes tough, quarantines all residents

In a broadcast Thursday, Deputy Governor Hadiza Balarabe announced a total lockdown of the state, saying all residents are to be quarantined.

“No office, event centre, market, shop or business of any sort or place of worship is allowed to open; “We recognise that this quarantine will have consequences for everyone, but more so for the vulnerable persons in our communities. As indicated in previous statements, the government is procuring food and other supplies, funded from its contingency budget, to mitigate the challenges of a lockdown for such persons.“These items will be distributed in community clusters across identified parts of some urban local government areas in the state.

In previous broadcasts, the government made clear that it would not hesitate to impose a curfew if circumstances dictate. With every sense of responsibility, I am compelled to inform you that we are at such a moment. Therefore, the State Standing Committee on Covid-19 has recommended, and the Kaduna State Government has accepted, the implementation of the additional emergency measures to enhance the protection of the health and lives of the people of Kaduna State.

The only category of persons exempted are workers in essential services such as health workers, the fire service and security personnel. Tankers conveying fuel to petrol stations are also permitted to move;

Oh my God have mercy on us😎🙏

While i support any good steps taken to stop the spread of coronavirus, i want to remind you that GEJonathan did not lock down any state or the country to crush ebola virus.

Way to go. Square peg in a square hole - elrufai

Good step...

The best decision from the best governor
