Drama as 2 coronavirus patients refuse to go to Isolation Centre

The Bauchi state government has lamented the refusal of two COVID-19 positive cases to isolate themselves, thereby likely to infect their family members and others in the process.

This was made public yesterday when the Executive Chairman of Bauchi State Primary Healthcare Development Agency (BASPHCDA), Dr Rilwanu Mohammed, who is also the Chairman, Contact Tracing Committee on Covid-19 in the state, made the claims that the duo said that COVOD-19 is scam.

He added that security agencies have been notified and that the two patients would soon be evacuated to an isolation centre.

Meanwhile, Mohammed added that of the 2 people that are treating one of the patients at home that came for testing, one of them was tested positive of the novel coronavirus.

“Some people are still having denial in their minds. We have two people who tested positive and have not reached out facilities. What’s more worrying is that, by their denial, they are infecting family members and other unsuspecting people.

“They refused to go (to isolation centre) because they are still denying the fact that Coronavirus is real. As they stay at home now, already two of the people taking care of one of them came for testing and one of them tested positive for Covid-19,” Mohammed said.

He thereby urged residents to keep abiding by the protocols outlined by the state government in order to curtail the spread of the virus
