Abdulrazaq Mungadi, Gombe

The Gombe State government says it has embarked on sensitisation effort across the state as a response to the countrywide outbreak of Lassa Fever, with the state having recording seven suspected cases.

According to the Commissioner of Health, Dr Ahmed Gana, who briefed reporters on the outbreak in the state, no fewer than two deaths have been recorded from the seven suspected cases.

He added, however, that one death was confirmed to be Lassa Fever, while the cause of death of the second deceased person, a Gombe native, is yet to be confirmed.
