Lakes State Taskforce Committee on coronavirus is requesting the national ministry of health and national taskforce Committee to send test kits for Covid-19 to the states.
A member of state high level taskforce Abigaba James says there are no coronavirus test kits in Rumbek and other parts of Lakes State to be used in case of any suspect.
He adds there is information gap about COVID-19 preventive measures which is a big risk to the population.
South Sudan has been recording an increase in the number of local transmission of the virus, with two recoveries and no death.
