Organisation provides Maun with much-needed isolation centre
In a bid to help address the crippling shortage of isolation centres in the town, Project Sanitize Maun has provided accommodation with the capacity for 93 patients.
The organisation, made up of various business entities and individuals in Maun united in the fight against Covid-19, have converted Maun Rest Camp into a District Health Management Team (DHMT) controlled isolation centre.
According to Project Sanitize Maun’s Administration Officer, Anita Lindstrom, the project has cost over P400, 000 including tenting and bedding.
“The isolation centre, which started running last week, has since had about 26 patients. It will accommodate asymptomatic patients only,” explained Lindstrom.
