\"GAMBIA:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The President of Gambia, Adama Barrow has immediately gone into self-isolation after his Vice-President, Isatou Touray tested positive for the dreaded COVID-19 virus which has fast spread across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A statement from the country\u2019s State House on Wednesday said Isatou Touray who had tested positive for the virus was in \u201cgood spirits and will be going into quarantine\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gambia\u2019s State House tweeted: \u201cThe Office of the President informs the public that Her Excellency, the Vice President; Dr. Isatou Touray has been tested positive of\u00a0COVID-19<\/a>. Consequently, @BarrowPresident will immediately be on self-isolation for 2 weeks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This came days after the government of the United States of America, Donald Trump moved to seize a property in the capital of Washington DC belonging to former Gambian President Yahya Jammeh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US justice department in a statement on Thursday said Jammeh used the proceeds of bribery and embezzled public funds to buy the plush mansion located in a Washington suburb when he was in power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to documents<\/a> presented by the US justice department as part of an effort to seize the property in the US capital, Mr Jammeh bought the $3.5m (\u00a32.8m) house a decade ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
