cases to certified healthcare facilities for isolation and management.
The Minister said;
”All medical practitioners, health care workers and also the
public are reminded that Covid-19 is such a highly infectious disease and they
should abstain from trying to privately treat or manage these cases in their
homes.
“Only designated treatment centre can provide safe isolation

“All designated isolation and treatment centres have
adequate supplies to manage cases and there is no shortage of Personal

workers."
