However it has not stopped local residents from panicking and calling the hospital on a daily basis.
One resident informed OTS News that they regularly visit a family member on a ward and are extremely worried that there may be patients in the hospital being treated for the virus.
They said “I’ve not heard for sure but I keep checking because if they confirm a case I won’t be going. As much as I love my brother I need to protect myself and the public too.”
