Mohammed, who disclosed this during Governor Inuwa Yahaya’s meeting with traditional rulers at the Gombe State Government House on Tuesday, said the task force was tracing those that might have had contacts with the virus carriers.

Yahaya, while addressing the traditional rulers, said, “We shall track and find out where they associated with and closed down those places; beyond that, we shall close down any local government that host such people; and above that, if care is not taken, if the spread continues, we shall lockdown the state hundred per cent and not allow anybody to come into Gombe State.”
