Top ministry of health official Dr Abdoulie Bittaye confirmed a plan is underway as more new cases of the deadly disease emerge.

“Yes it’s true, we are looking at converting the Kanifing Hospital into a treatment centre. This is because we are expecting a lot more cases,” the director of Health Services said.

A memo by administration of the hospital on Monday is seen telling staff of the move to turn the hospital into a coronavirus treatment centre. The move is expected to come into effect on Monday August 24.
