Gambia on the edge of wining Covid-19

By Adama Makasuba

The Gambia seems to be moving in being coronavirus free nation after eight months of fighting the deadly virus as Ministry of Health has announced that no new coronavirus related death was registered.

“No new COVID-19 related death recorded. No new posthumous sample tested,” the Ministry of Health said in its issued situational report.

In the Ministry of Health’s daily media update showed more men died of the virus than women but a strong reason to that is not established.

The Ministry however said despite no new patient recovered within the last 24 hours but that only four people are currently in quarantine across the country.

It comes following weeks after President Barrow-led administration relaxed coronavirus restriction measures that showed schools reopened and markets allowed to exercise businesses as usual and as well as bars and restaurants, gyms and night clubs reopened for businesses.

More than one hundred people are reported to have died of Covid-19 since the emergence of the virus in March, and more than three thousand people were infected by the virus, many of whom recovered.

But one of the main difficulties the virus posed on the public was its bad impact on the businesses as hundreds of business entities were shutdown and thousands of people now jobless.
