A Gombe State Epidemiologist, Dr Bile Nuhu, has revealed that 19 out of the 22 students who tested positive for Corona Virus in the state have fully recovered. He added that the other three are still recovering.
According to him, "we look forward to screening all the students running into 10,000. For now, only students in the final year and exiting classes are the ones in school.
He equally disclosed that the state had established school isolation spaces across 16 boarding schools out of the 20 in the state. He mentioned that these isolation centres are for the management of mild cases of COVID-19.
He noted that the remaining four schools did not meet the criteria for schools' isolation spaces but that both the ministries of health and education are working to see that they are upgraded.
