WINDHOEK, June 3 (Xinhua) -- Namibian President Hage Geingob on Wednesday inaugurated a 12-bed isolation facility built by a Chinese firm to help Namibia contain the COVID-19 outbreak.
"Inauguration of this state-of-the-art facility shows that Namibia is serious in fighting this pandemic," Geingob said. "We are lucky that we do not have any fatalities but our worry are the truck drivers and we continue to worry on how to handle them at borders while bringing the food supplies."
