The commissioner, however, expressed worry over the increase in the number of active cases in Taraba which has risen to 24 within two weeks, urging citizens to continue observing the government laid down rules such as, social distancing, regular hand washing and the use of facemask in public places.
While soliciting for a testing centre in Taraba, the commissioner added that it would be part of the government proactive steps as more people would be tested and possibly isolated before they make contact with other persons unknowingly.
