  Three inmates in the Nalerigu prison cells in the North East Region have tested positive to Covid-19. According to the Deputy North East Regional Police Commander, DCOP Moses Kofi Ali, a   Covid-19 test was run on 10 inmates who were to be transferred from the Nalerigu prison cells to Walewale as part of inmate transfer protocols, out of which three came out positive. Two of the three inmates after treatment have recovered and but one is still being treated,” he noted. Fortunately, contact tracing and eventual testing of police personnel who handled these inmates have all came out negative.
