Health ministry says volunteer doctors have made it their job to monitor those that have coronavirus and are self-isolating at home

Volunteer doctors have taken it upon themselves to account for positive cases that are self-isolating at home by regularly calling and monitoring their conditions, the ministry of health said on Wednesday as it revealed cases of virus have jumped to 2,708 following the discovery of 22 new cases.

According to the ministry, the country currently has 31 people in quarantine, 2,004 active cases, 220 probable cases and a crude case-fatality ratio of 3.4%.

The bulk of the active cases are asymptomatic and are as such self-isolating at home pending the manifestation of symptoms, the ministry said.
