He added that there was no further death recorded as the state government had reactivated a response team and an emergency operation unit.

 

He pointed out that disease surveillance officers led by Mr Polycarp Kadala, the director, public health in the ministry and Dr Bashir Suleiman, the executive secretary of the state primary health care development agency are in the response team in the affected areas.

 

On the suspected polio virus in Mayo-belwa local government area, he said 30 samples had been sent to the Federal Medical Centre Gombi as the state awaits the results.

 

He added that the suspected case was brought to area from Kano by a native of the area.

 

“In the case of suspected polio virus case, people are not affected. Those that are supposed to be affected have been vaccinated long ago,” Tangwami added.

 

He said government had beefed up advocacy in schools ahead of next week’s resumption, market places and places of worship on the need to reduce overcrowding, drink water and  bathe constantly to reduce heat.
