Two suspected cases of coronavirus, a father and his son, have been quarantined at the Sir Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa Memorial Hospital Kafanchan, in Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
A member of the council’s coronavirus response team, Dr. Hosea Miwok confirmed the development to Salama News today in Kafanchan.
Miwok said the two suspected cases turned themselves in at the hospital after experiencing symptoms of the disease upon the father’s return from Abuja two weeks ago.
According to him, the father after isolating himself for 14 days upon his return from Abuja, started to cough and some how his son began coughing too.
He noted that the two suspected cases showed symptoms of the disease at the hospital, hence the decision to quarantine them.
Meanwhile, officials of the National Centre for Disease Control have since been alerted of the development and would be coming in from Kaduna tomorrow to take their sample for testing.
