United States Government has revoked visas for 1,000 Chinese students and and researchers, siting security risk as reasons.

According to a report by the BBC, the development is traced to a proclamation by President Donald Trump in May directed at Chinese nationals suspected of having ties to the military.

The report added that it is linked to allegations of stolen data and intellectual property by some Chinese students and researchers.

The BBC report also disclosed that about 370,000 students from China had enrolled at US universities in 2018-19 sessions.

A spokeswoman from the US state department stated that those whose visas were revoked are deemed "high-risk graduate students and research scholars".

"We continue to welcome legitimate students and scholars from China who do not further the Chinese Communist Party's goals of military dominance," the spokeswoman stated.

However the Chinese ministry of foreign affairs condemned the move at a daily media briefing in Beijing.

"This is outright political persecution and racial discrimination. It seriously violates the human rights of these Chinese students," spokesman Zhao Lijian said, adding that China reserved the right to "further respond".

Governor El-Rufai says It costs over N400k to treat one COVID-19 patient

Posted: 10 Sep 2020 02:30 AM PDT

Governor of Kaduna, Nasir el-Rufai, says it costs about N400,000 to treat a COVID-19 patient in the state.

Speaking on Monday during an executive committee meeting with traditional rulers chaired by Sa'ad Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto, the governor said the amount is as a result of the increasing cost of drugs, feeding, and personal protective equipment (PPE) for doctors.

El-Rufai said the government cannot tell patients to bear the cost of the treatment because it will lead to further spread of the disease.

"We have a very high success rate in treating COVID-19 patients. Even a 90-year-old person, with underlying conditions, diabetes and hypertension was treated successfully in the state," el-Rufai said.

"The virus has not left us. We may ignore it, but it is still there. We urge you to sensitise our people to protect themselves against this virus, particularly those that are above the age of 60.

"It costs about N400,000 to treat one coronavirus patient. They have to be isolated and fed. The cost of medicine has increased, even the personal protective equipment that the doctors treating them have to wear. When you add all this up, the average cost of treatment is over N400,000 per person. We have to bear the cost."

In March, el-Rufai contracted COVID-19, but he recovered after nearly four weeks.
Kaduna has recorded a total of 2,214 COVID-19 cases so far.
