Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has gone into self-isolation after shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with the son of former vice president, Abubakar Atiku, who has tested positive to COVID-19.
This is disclosed in a statement issued on Monday by the media aide to the governor, Muhktar Gidado.
The statement said “So far the governor has not exhibited any symptoms but based on recommendations of the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control, he has decided to isolate himself in order to avoid the risk of spreading the disease.
“Blood samples of the governor and his entourage have been taken for clinical tests. “Consequently, all official appointments have been cancelled. Any inconvenience caused by this development is highly regretted.”
