Fourteen of the almajiri children who were sent to Kaduna from Kano state have tested positive for COVID-19 as State Governor relaxes lockdown today.
Amina Baloni, commissioner of health in Kaduna, broke the news on Saturday evening.
She said the figure may rise as more test results were being awaited.
Baloni, however, said the standing committee on COVID-19 ensured that the repatriated almajiris were kept in one location so as not to mingle with people and further spread the disease.
