Bauchi governor’s aide tests negative to COVID-19

The Plateau Government has said that the result of the preliminary test carried out on Hassan Sale, aide to Bauchi State Governor, who resides in Jos, tested negative.

Gov. Simon Lalong stated this in Jos on Sunday in a statement by Mr Dan Manjang, the State Commissioner for Information and Communication.

“When information on Sale’s disposition reached us, the Ministry of Health, Plateau State, swiftly acted by taking Sale’s specimen and sent it to Abuja for examination.

“But to God’s glory, we are today, Sunday, March 29, happy to announce to Plateau people and indeed the whole world that both the preliminary and the confirmatory results of the specimen standing in the name of Hassan Sale are negative.

“In the light of this development, the Plateau Government wishes to call on all and sundry to discountenance any misinformation about status of Sale as regards Coronavirus,” Lalong stated.

The governor said that, presently, there is no known case of Corona Virus in Plateau.
