The Nigerian president has expressed deep concern over a high number of unexplained deaths in the northern state of Kano, amid fears they could be caused by Covid-19. President Muhammadu Buhari said  a lockdown would be imposed in Kano for an additional two weeks, and that he was sending a government team to investigate. Nigeria's Health Minister Dr Osagie Ehanire says the situation is being "monitored closely". But following preliminary investigations the state authorities have dismissed a connection with coronavirus. Hundreds of people are rumoured to have died in the community but no official death records are kept.

No Evidence People Who Survive COVID-19 Are Immune – WHO

World Health Organization Getty Image The World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Saturday that there is no evidence that people who test positive for the new coronavirus and recover are immunised and protected against reinfection . The warning suggests that the issuance of “immune passports” may promote the continued spread of the pandemic. “There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from #COVID19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection,” WHO said in a statement. “As of 24 April 2020, no study has evaluated whether the presence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 confers immunity to subsequent infection by this virus in humans.” Some governments, wanting a gradual return to work and the resumption of economic activity, have put forward the idea of issuing documents attesting to the immunity of people on the basis of serological tests revealing the presence of antibodies in the blood.
