The Gombe State Task Force on COVID-19 has said that the protest by some patients in the State was just “emotional.”
A video went viral during the week showing some of the COVID-19 patients at the Kwadon isolation centre in Yamaltu-Deba Local Government Area of the State embark on a protest.

He said the protest was a manifestation of the prevailing socioeconomic and psychological challenges as well as the consequences of Coronavirus: ravaging the land.
