So far, Coronavirus has appeared in 19 states out of the 36 states of the Federation and Zamafara is not one of them.
Nonetheless, most of his counterparts have banned movement, suspended services and restricted activities to the barest minimum to curb the virus.
Even though a total lockdown has not been ordered. Lagos, Ogun, Abuja have been held to a standstill while other states did the same to curb the spread of the deadly virus.
However, a few others lauded the Governor for his moves, notwithstanding the rise of the pandemic in the West African nation.
