A Yobe State Assembly Member Who Tested Positive Of COVID-19 Has Refused Isolation

Member of Yobe State House of Assembly who is suspected to have tested positive for COVID-19 has allegedly refused to be isolated at the state isolation facility.

The member was rushed to the General Sani Abacha Specialist Hospital and was admitted at the amenity ward of the hospital.

His sample according to a source was taken and later confirmed to have tested positive but he refused to go to the isolation facility which is also located at the same hospital.

“It was a running battle between us and the member of the State House of Assembly to move to the isolation center and he refused,” the source disclosed.

The patients at the amenity ward where he was admitted at the hospital have been evacuated and the wing deserted.

According to reports, the action of the member irked the health workers at the hospital and they refused to attend to him in the last two days.

It is also not clear whether the hospital is considering the amenity ward as an Isolation center..
