The Deputy Coordinator, Kano State Covid-19 Response, Dr. Sabitu Shuaibu has confirmed that the ‘unusual deaths’ in the state have risen to 640 in just seven days.

He made the clarification while speaking on Channels Television where he clarified that the 640 deaths were recorded in the last one week and not in two days as insinuated by some person in the social media.

Recall that reports of strange deaths in Kano have been making the rounds in the media.

Speaking on Channels TV about the increasing deaths in the state, Dr. Shuaibu added: “Let’s say about an average of 100 deaths daily from Kano metropolis, but don’t forget that around 50% of the Kano population are within the metropolis; we can agree that there are deaths going on, but we also understand that there are deaths going on from other causes. We are saying that we are putting up a system to investigate if there is a link between Covid-19 and the deaths.

“There are deaths going on, it may include Covid, but people are also dying from other causes.”

Though the deaths in the state have not yet been linked to the deadly coronavirus disease, Khalid Munir, a resident in Kano, said he was deeply concerned about the situation because cases of Coronavirus in the city were rising.

“Who knows what is killing people? The development is causing people to panic and no one knows what is going on.

“The index Coronavirus case for example went to a lot of places even Friday prayers before he was confirmed positive, so a lot of people might be walking around with Coronavirus and dying from it and not even know,” he said.
