Two Absconded COVID-19 Patients Arrested In Kaduna

Dr. Baloni, Kaduna Commissioner of Health

Kaduna Security agencies have successfully tracked two COVID-19 positive persons who fled their homes shortly after they were notified of their test results. This was confirmed by the state Commissioner of Health, Dr. Amina Baloni. Baloni claimed that the individuals are now at the isolation center.

The Kaduna State Ministry of Health had earlier warned the two persons who tested positive for COVID-19 to submit themselves for treatment at the isolation center. The ministry also mandated security agents to track and fish out the two persons before they spread the virus to other members of the public.

In a statement on Sunday, the commissioner of Health, Dr Amina Baloni warns that it is illegal and dangerous for Covid-19 positive patients to switch off their phones and make themselves inaccessible to health authorities after being notified of their test results.

The Commissioner further disclosed that two persons were duly informed that they had tested positive while on isolation on Friday. ” Health officials subsequently notified them that a team will be coming to convey them to the isolation center for treatment. These people subsequently switched off their phones and have remained incommunicado, she revealed. The Health Commissioner noted that the reckless action of the absconded positive patients is not only endangering themselves but their families and the larger community.

” Similar irresponsible conduct by some Covid-19 positive cases has been reported in another state. It is a pattern of behavior that must be stopped because it is patently dangerous to public safety, she she added.
