Many Gambians are finding it hard to get tested for coronavirus, according to an investigation by The Fatu Network.
“For the past week I had been trying to get tested so that i know my status but I am still not able to do my test. I’ve been to Ndemban Clinic the past week but to no avail,” Ebrahim Jammeh said.
Another one said: “I was there with many people but we all ended up going home as there was no frontline worker on the ground to get us tested . This is frustrating.”
The Fatu Network reached out to the spokesperson of the Rapid Response Team, Fatou Jah to find out the reason behind people finding it difficult to get tested.
“This is because we are short of staff , almost all frontline workers are positive including myself. I’m getting treatment as we speak and for the lab almost 20 are currently admitted,” she said.
