Pat Stevens/

The Federal Government has confirmed COVID-19 as the cause of recent mysterious deaths in Kano State. 

According to the Head, Presidential Task Force Committee on COVID-19, Nasiru Gwarzo, the test carried out established that COVID-19 was the cause of the deaths.

He said, “So, before the final report which would be ready in the next one week or few days, it is necessary for people of Kano to wake up from their slumber that this is a serious issue.

“It is not a new thing, countries like America, China, Italy, Spain, England, France and others experienced similar mysterious deaths.”

There have been concerns about the increasing deaths in the state amidst the COVID-19 crisis, with the state government insisting that the deaths were not coronavirus-related.

Majority of the victims were also buried without an autopsy.

President Muhammadu Buhari had consequently ordered the task force to unravel the cause of the mysterious deaths.
