The Plateau Government said on Wednesday that 29 of its health workers had contracted the coronavirus. He said that 17 staff of the hospital were confirmed with the disease, while all staff of the hospital have been quarantined.
“We decontaminated the hospital yesterday and have closed it down for public safety.
“We have also taken the 17 staff to the isolation centres for treatment,’’ he said.
In a related development, the state government has decried the lack of adherence to guidelines for COVID-19 by most individuals and some organisations, following the suspension of the lockdown order by Governor Simon Lalong on June 11.
