The increase in Covid-19 patients has made the RSKI only able to accommodate 25 more patients.

The confirmed patient now occupies the quarantine building 240 A and B and buildings 120 A and B.

An increase in the number of patients ultimately reduces the capacity of the beds that have been provided.

In contrast to suspected patients, RSKI is currently lacking in patients.
