Three officials in the office of the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, have reportedly tested positive for the deadly Coronavirus (COVID-19).
This latest development was confirmed by a presidential source on Tuesday.
Efforts to reach Presidential spokesmen to confirm most of the developments within the State House on Tuesday proved abortive as neither the Special Adviser and the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina and Mallam Garba Shehu, respectively, was seen within the premises.
A Presidential source also confirmed that all persons suspected to have been exposed to the Chief of Staff to the President have been advised to self-isolate.
The source added that the advice might be responsible for why many people who were expected to be at work were unavailable, adding that the advised self-isolate had commenced in earnest.
