Analysis of state totals:

Gombe state: 

There was a huge drama at the Kwadon Isolation centre, Gombe State as all quarantined COVID19 patients broke out of the hospital to block the highway in protest.

The patients complained that health workers have not been seen for up to 2 weeks. They have also not had food to eat for days while no single medication has been administered to anyone of them since their isolation.

One of the patients said that they spend heir own money to buy medications from local pharmacies especially when their pains become unbearable.

The protesters were sadly joined by members of the public who mingled freely with them during the protest.

The unfortunate development obviously portends grave danger as transmission of the highly infectious disease is expected to spike in the coming days.
