Reports claim that Abba Kyari, the chief of staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, is responding “very well” to treatment of coronavirus.
Recall that Kyari, on Sunday, March 29, confirmed that he had tested positive for COVID-19.
Speaking on the health status of the chief of staff to the president, his doctors said he is making good progress.
According to the reports, “Since the diagnosis, he has had the occasional cough, which, though not chesty, remained stubborn, hence his decision to transfer to a private facility in Lagos for further tests and observations.
“Up till now, he has had no high fever or difficulty in breathing, and the cough is subsiding after treatment, so he is making good progress.
”The doctors want him to sleep and rest more for now, so they took his phones away but he is stable and improving.”

Kyari in a statement released via the twitter handle of the presidency, @NGRPresident, disclosed that he would be coming to Lagos state for further tests based on medical advice.
The chief of staff disclosed further that he was yet to experience any of the symptoms associated with coronavirus.
Kyari stated that he has made personal arrangements to treat himself to avoid further burdening the public health system which faces so many pressures.
He thanked Nigerian medical professionals who are working across the country to combat the pandemic. Kyari, however, urged Nigerians to remain calm and maintain good hygiene.
