A test conducted by the Nigerian Center for Disease Control
on Monday has indicated that Kyari is positive for the virus while President
Buhari tested negative.
A top government source had on Monday told SaharaReporters
that Kyari had been seriously "down" since returning from a trip
abroad.
Kyari visited Germany and Egypt and only returned this week.
Egypt has 327 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and 14 deaths
while Germany has 29,056 infections and 123 deaths.
Kyari upon his return was said to have been attending
meetings including with Buhari, Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, ministers and
other members of the Federal Executive Council.

postponed after he started coughing severely and exhibiting symptoms of the
virus.
Executive Chairman of Nigerian Electricity Regulatory
Commission, Prof James Momoh, was said to have accompanied Kyari on the trip to
both Germany and Egypt.
Kyari is currently in isolation receiving medical attention
for the virus.
