He also indicated that all hospitals in the country are fully prepared to deal with any patients, including running the needed analyses and medical checks if they suspected Coronavirus cases.
Meanwhile, the Libyan Foreign Ministry of the Government of National Accord (GNA) has announced that Algeria is coordinating with it to evacuate the Libyan students in China’s Wuhan city on board the Algerian planes that are tasked with evacuating the Algerian nationals from China.
