The new Chief of Defense Staff, Major Gen. Yankuba Drammeh has gone into self-isolation along with his director of logistics Navy captain Dembo Jarjue.
The senior military officials were on board the Royal Air Maroc flight that brought in the lady with the first Coronavirus case in The Gambia early Sunday morning.
According to Army PRO Major Lamin Sanyang, the two men have already been tested negative.
“But as the protocol and medical authorities demand, they have to be isolated for about two weeks and they have since started that,” PRO Sanyang said.
Meanwhile unconfirmed reports have also said that other security officials such as the Inspector General of Police was on the same flight too.
