Following the closure of Gombe State Government House over the demise of a top government official, Shuaibu Danlami, public officials, including cabinet members, are being tested for coronavirus.

On Thursday Governor Inuwa Yahaya directed that high risk areas such as the offices of the deceased and that of the Secretary to the State Government, as well as the Government House Clinic where the deceased was admitted, be disinfected and shut.

“Already, samples from commissioners, special advisers, members of the task force on covid-19, where the deceased served as assistant secretary; directors, executive secretaries, chairmen of boards and commissions, security personnel attached to the Government House, as well as those of other workers and aides are being taken for COVID-19 test while the Rapid Response Team has also commenced contact tracing,” he said.
