The new head of the country’s army who was appointed to the top job last week has gone into self-isolation after travelling in the same flight as the woman who has virus, army spokesman Lamin Sanyang has said.
Major General Yakuba Drammeh was appointed head of the army following the sacking of Masanneh Kinteh.
The general had travelled last week and came back into the country on Sunday onboard the same flight as the 21-year-old Gambian lady who has the virus, Major Lamin Sanyang told The Fatu Network.
“As we speak, the ministry of health and the relevant authorities have contacted the Gambia Armed Forces to ensure that the two officers that’s the CDS and the senior officer go on self-quarantine for 14 days which they have started in earnest,” he added.
