The Kano State Centre for Disease Control has switched on its Public Health Emergency Operations Centre, moving quickly after the Federal Government confirmed an Ebola case in the Federal Capital Territory.
The activation signals that Kano is taking a proactive stance, putting systems in place before any threat reaches the state rather than waiting to react after the fact.
With the FCT case now confirmed at the federal level, other states watching closely will want to see how Kano's early response unfolds.
