In his response, the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, noted that the state is gradually learning to live with the virus, saying: “initially, the situation was looking new, unusual and unfamiliar, but now we have known the easiest way to be infected and the safest ways to stay safe.”

If we continue practicing these commandments, we will eradicate the virus in Kano,” he added.
