The ministry described the report as ‘false and untrue’, while adding that it has deployed officers to all burial grounds to count bodies brought in for burial everyday.

Kindly disregard the rumors of having mass deaths recently in Kano metropolis. The State Task Force on #COVID19 has activated community informants structure of the World Health Organization (WHO) to report deaths and cause of deaths and have also deployed officers to all burial grounds to count bodies brought in for burial everyday (the workers would conduct 2 shifts).

This particular rumor has been investigated and found to be untrue so must be dispelled.
