He said as many as five of the seven COVID-19 patients underwent self-isolation, two were treated in hospital and zero isoters of patients were exposed to the corona virus.
"Currently, COVID-19 patients in 80 isoter facilities with 943 beds have zero patients being exposed to the corona virus," he said.
