Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State on Thursday inaugurated a model female coronavirus isolation centre in Kano.
Mr Abba Anwar, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, made the disclosure in a statement in Kano.
He quoted the governor as saying that the state government considered establishing the centre in order to avoid agitations at isolation centres as witnessed earlier.
The governor urged the staff of the isolation centre to be kind to their patients.
“We don’t want to hear complaints from any patient here and you need to understand the psychology of your patients.” the governor said.
He advised the staff to provide the female COVID-19 patients, with the necessary items they may require, and stressed the need for the staff to keep the patients updated about their status and what they were expected to do.
“When there is no such explanation, patients would not know when next a sample would be taken and when next the result of the samples would be announced to them.
“From there you begin to see a lot of agitations. We want a situation of cooperation and understanding,” Ganduje said.
NAN reports that the model female isolation centre located at Daula, was designed with a 100-bed capacity to handle mild cases.
This brings to seven the number of isolation centres created to handle COVID-19 cases in the state.
