At a press conference last night, Libya’s National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) revealed that the country’s second Coronavirus case is recovering, adding that the newly refurbished Zaweet Al-Dihmany clinic will be the first point for testing suspected Coronavirus cases.

 The National Centre for Disease Control said that they were able to process test results in about 3 hours, a much shorter period of time than many other countries.

It also stressed that social distancing and the commitment to home quarantine are the first steps to the reduction and spread of the Coronavirus. With regards to the possibility of a 24-hour curfew being imposed in Libya, it said that would depend on the rate of spread of the virus.
