The commissioner for Primary Healthcare, Dr. Ibrahim Ahmed Dangana, confirmed the incident, but stated that the state government had acted by setting up a multi-sectoral approach to halting the epidemic in the six local government areas.

He said treatment and isolation centres have been set up in each of the affected local government areas to control the spread.
