The governor said, “Fellow Citizens, according to the NCDC latest update, as at today, the total confirmed COVID-19 cases in Nigeria is 1337; total discharged is 255; while total death is 40. In Adamawa State, up till yesterday, the total case confirmed was 1; total case discharged was 0; and total death is 0.
“Just when we thought we are doing enough to flatten the curve with the tremendous progress our index case is making toward complete recovery, I received, yet again, another devastating update that out of the eight samples we had pending at the NCDC Referral Lab in Abuja, one turned out positive, 6 are negative and 1 still pending.
“With this, I regret to announce that we now have 2 COVID-19 Confirmed Cases in Adamawa State.
“What is striking about this case is the fact that it is not linked to the index case. Last week, we sent 8 samples to Abuja. 5 were direct contacts of the index case as traced; while 3 were new suspicious cases who were showing symptoms.
