Anxiety builds on more possible spread of the deadly COVID-19 in Kano as three persons who tested positive abandoned their homes and disappeared into the thin air, for fear of being taken to Isolation Centre.
The State Coordinator, Rapid Response on Covid-19, Dr. Tijjani Hussaini confirmed this during a programme at a local radio station.
Dr. Hussaini said the patients have switched off their phones and their homes are deserted.
The coordinator said they have informed the security agencies about the development to launch manhunt on the persons.
It was however gathered that the patients were said to have fled immediately when they got wind of the outcome of their test which turn out to be positive.
The status of confirmed cases of COVID-19 as at the time of filling this report remains at 77, with three deaths.
