George Weah, the President of Liberia has caused drama on the radio in that country’s capital, Monrovia following reports that his Information Minister, Eugene Nagbe, had tested positive for coronavirus three days after they were seen together.
The concern was raised as it emerged that the former footballer had not even tested for the virus and had been seen distributing face masks to some members of the public.
When the head of the National Public Health Institute, Dr Mosoka Fallah, appeared on a radio talk show to update people on the latest coronavirus news he dodged the question of a caller who needed to know if he was going to advise President Weah to get tested.
Meanwhile, Weah’s deputy press secretary, Smith Toby, had confirmed the president had not been tested following his interaction with minister Nagbe.
