The spokesperson of South Sudan’s Ministry of Health Dr Thuou Loi has disclosed that the country lacks isolation centres to accommodate Coronavirus patients.
Dr Loi said that currently, patients are still being quarantined in their own homes as Government looks for ways to increase the number of public isolation centres.

The spokesperson has stressed that public health centres are under renovation and soon all patients will be kept in one place for observation.
South Sudan has 35 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country.
