Kaduna State government has warned that it may impose another lockdown on the state considering the recent increase in cases of COVID-19 in the State.
The Commissioner of Health, Dr Amina Mohammed-Baloni, gave the warning at a press conference on Saturday in Kaduna.
She said that there had been a rise in cases of the virus in the state lately, adding that if it continues, government would have no option than to impose another lockdown.
Mohammed-Baloni said that public spaces including schools, markets, offices and places of worship may be temporarily closed if people failed to observe COVID-19 preventive protocols.
According to her, 74 COVID-19 positive results were recorded in the state from 531 samples on Nov. 26, adding that the quantum of infections since then, suggested both high infection rate and the reality of a new wave of infection spreading across the State.
