State House has been rattled by coronavirus following confirmation on Sunday that three cabinet ministers tested positive for the disease – days after Vice President Dr Isatou Touray tested positive for the virus.
Rumours are now rife President Barrow has undergone Covid-19 test and his results have returned positive, amid suggestions State House is being tight-lipped about the extent of the situation. Other rumours are that there’s a special doctor monitoring the president.
The rumours come amid an announcement by State House the president was self-isolating following the vice president testing positive.
Dozens of security officers at the presidency have reportedly undergone Covid-19 test with at least ’28’ testing positive. Health Promotion director Modou Njai could not confirm these reports on Sunday.
However on the president testing positive for the disease, director of press and public relations at the Office of the President Amie Bojang Sissoho said on Monday she had spoken with both the president and the secretary general on Monday and that there was nothing to suggest the president has the virus. She added they would have announced it if the president has the virus, just like in the case of the vice president.
