Nyakabande Transit Camp Struggling To Isolate Positive COVID-19 Cases
Nyakabande refugee transit center in Kisoro district currently hosting over ten thousand Congolese refugees is short of isolation space COVID-19 patients.
Kisoro Resident District Commissioner, Hajji Shafique Ssekandi Ssengoba says 116 Congolese refugees were in isolation at the transit center after testing positive for COVID-19 by Sunday evening. Ssekandi stressed that the available space at the transit center accommodates only 100 patients yet the numbers have been increasing.
