He said: “The second case which was recorded and taken to the treatment centre has now tested negative and will be discharged this morning, thanks to God for his mercy.

“We did not want to record a case before we began our preparations, that was why were started by enlightening and preparing our people. We were the first state to lockdown our land, sea and air borders. We were victimized and targeted, but is what has limited our index cases.”
