He explained that the government’s decision became imperative after due consultations with the Federal government and key stakeholders in the health sector.

Garba stated that the measure was aimed at further reducing person-to-person contacts, considered as one of the major ways the disease was being spread.

Acknowledging the effects of the measure on the public, the state government, however, called for patience and support as the fight against the pandemic continues.

The state further called on the public to continue observing strict personal hygiene measures through regular hand washing, use of face masks and social distancing.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Kano has 666 confirmed cases of COVID-19 cases, with 571 active cases and 32 deaths.

As per the update of the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), the state had discharged 63 persons as at 11:45pm of May 11, 2020.

A week ago, the state relaxed the lockdown order by allowing residents to move freely on Mondays and Thursdays, from 10p.m to 4p.m every week.

The aim of the relaxation was to allow people make some shopping to cope with the Ramadan period amidst the lockdown.
