Guinea-Bissau's Prime Minister, Nuno Nabiam and three other government ministers have tested positive for Coronavirus.
Health Minister Antonio Deuna said the Prime Minister and the
Ministers are being quarantined at a hotel in the country's
capital, Bissau.
Lusa reported that the other infected officials are Interior Minister
Botche Cande and two secretaries of state, Mario Fambe and Monica
Buaro.
This is coming just after President Umaro Sissoco Embalo placed a
major order for COVID-organics (organic concoction is said to cure
virus-infected patients) from Madagascar.
Guinea-Bissau has so far recorded 73 confirmed COVID-19 cases, with
one death, and 18 recoveries according to figures compiled by the
US-based Johns Hopkins University. President Umaro Sissoco Embalo had
also extended the nationwide state of emergency due to the disease, to
May 11.
Nabiam came third in last year’s presidential election and was
selected by the eventual winner, President Umaro Sissoco Embalo, to be
prime minister in late February.
