Construction is soon to be completed on a $12 million COVID-19 isolation facility at the Suddie Public Hospital, Region Two Regional Health Officer Dr Ranjeev Singh has said
Singh told the Department of Public Information (DPI) in an interview last week that the 20-room facility would allow more positive cases to be confined, further reducing the risk of transmission while enabling the hospital to resume its normal functions.
Singh was reported as saying that the region continues to record low COVID-19 cases because of the strict measures in place to reduce transmission. In keeping with its approach, he said it has increased its testing capacity by deploying a mobile unit, which targets students, residents and miners, particularly those travelling from hotspot communities like Mainstay, Kabakaburi and Capoey.
