Kawuwa said medical teams have been deployed to the affected areas to access and control the situation.
“We are on top of the situation and we are doing everything possible to control the cases in the two local government areas,” he said.
NAN gathered that the World Health Organisation (WHO) has joined the state medical team to check the situation.
A WHO staff told NAN on condition of anonymity that “we (WHO) are supporting the state team to control the situation”.
Meanwhile, the state Ministry of Health has embarked on sensitisation campaign against communicable diseases, including CSM, as the hot season intensifies.
