Office of the National Security on Wednesday halted its country sensitisation tour on security sector reform amid fears of the deadly coronavirus.
The virus which emerged in China last December has so far killed more than 10,000 people across the World leaving thousands of people infected with it.
The Gambia last Tuesday registered its first case of the virus in a 28-year-old Gambian lady who travelled from UK, which triggered President Barrow to ban public gatherings and shut down schools and Universities in an effort to contain further spread of the virus in the country.
Office of National Security who began five days country tour Monday in Kerewan to engage security officials and government officials, and public to education them about process of the reform has now suspended its tour.
Last December, the office held a similar tour to educate Gambians on its process on security sector reform.
In a joint statement from office of the national security and Geneva Centre for Security Sector Governance, the office said the suspension of the tour is in compliance with the statement of the president.
