Rilwanu Mohammed, the executive secretary Bauchi State Primary Health Care Development Agency, announced on Thursday that there were three fresh cases of Lassa fever in the state.
15 people suspected of carrying the virus are under observation, he told journalists in Bauchi.
He said samples of the tests conducted on the 15 suspected cases have been sent to the National Disease Control Center in Abuja for authentication.
He, however, said that there is no record of any death in the state since the outbreak.
He traced the origin of the current challenge in the state to a Kano resident who “came back to Bauchi to see her family and stayed for some days in Bauchi for some time and later traveled to a village in Toro LGA.
“So she went there and that was where the infection started but I don’t want to say anything more because as an epidemiologist, I don’t talk about what didn’t happen here in Bauchi. But the initial stage of the infection was Toro LGA.”
The Executive Secretary, Mohammed lamented that some children in a village in the state were also seen selling rats for N100 saying the development will further increase the spread of the laser fever in the state if care is not taken.
