“The national ministry have deployed personnel term at Juba international airport checking people entering the country from other countries through daily domestic flights,” said Clerto adding that the precautions are not to band people from entering South Sudan but to secure the country from being affected by the virus brought from foreign countries.

Clerto said Western Bahr el Ghazal have already trained 65 personnel and will be based at border areas to take precautions on those entering the state through Central Africa border and neighboring Western Equatoria state.
