This is according to a statement issued by the Information Officer in the state’s Ministry of Health, Hadiza Namadi in reaction to a viral video which appeared to be buttressing the claim.
The state government, however, described the claims as false, mischievous, unfounded and a handiwork of some disgruntled, misguided and unpatriotic elements aimed at rubbishing the efforts of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje towards containing the spread of the pandemic in Kano”.
It also noted that patients are being admitted into some of these centers, treated and discharged after full recovery from the coronavirus disease.
According to the Commissioner, the Kwanar Dawaki Isolation Center is for patients with critical condition, such as those in need of ventilators.
Other Isolation Centres include the Mohammad Buhari Specialist Hospital Giginyu, Abubakar Imam Urology Centre set up by the state government in collaboration with Aliko Dangote Foundation and the isolation centre at Daula Hotel.
Tsanyawa added that the isolation centers that are currently being constructed are Sani Abacha Stadium Isolation Center, 340-bed capacity at Karfi Sports Institute Isolation centre and Tofa Cottage Hospital Isolation Centre.
The commissioner urged the public to disregard the content of the viral video, insisting that it is fake news and very misleading.
