10 doctors test positive for Coronavirus in Kano after treating infected patients - Edoman - 05-05-2020 10 doctors test positive for Coronavirus in Kano after treating infected patients 10 doctors who work with Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH) have reportedly tested positive for Coronavirus, after treating patients who came to the hospital with symptoms of Coronavirus. Chairman of the hospital's branch of Association of Resident Doctors, Abubakar Nagoma confirmed this on Monday May 4. He told Premium Times that the affected health professionals include resident doctors who are undergoing training and consultant doctors. Nagoma said; Quote:“We have resident and consultant doctors that were tested positive of COVID-19 in Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital. He hinged the vulnerability of doctors to the disease on lack of adequate personal protective, non-use of face masks by patients when coming to hospitals and deliberate hoarding of information by some patients. Nagoma added; Quote:“On our part, we lack protective equipments. And you will see many doctors at accident and emergency unit of the hospital wearing only face masks. Kano has so far recorded 365 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and eight deaths.
