Health ministry wants security raised at COVID-19 treatment centres to end escape of patients

The ministry of health has proposed escalation of security at the country’s coronavirus treatment facilities to end the escape of patients.

On Thursday, the ministry said a 36-year-old female patient ‘absconded’ from one of the treatment centres. She is the latest to flee from a treatment centre.

The ministry is now calling for security to be “beefed up at all COVID-19 treatment/isolation centers to prevent the abscondence of patients”.
