Journalists who attended the burial ceremony of President Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari have been asked to self-isolate for 14 days by the Presidency.
In a statement released by the Deputy Director of Information in the State House Attah Esa on Sunday April 19, the affected journalists were told that the directive was a precautionary measure to stop the spread of Coronavirus.
The statement read;
“As a precautionary measure, all State House Correspondents and Media Office Staff who covered/attended the funeral prayer/burial ceremony of the late Chief of Staff, at Defence House and Gudu Cemetery Abuja, respectively, are strongly advised to work from home for the next 14 days.
