The President of the Republic of South Sudan Salva Kiir Mayardit will issue an order banning transportation of corpses from Juba to states for burial.
He adds this will curb the rapid spread of corona virus since many people including leaders die from the disease.
The president reassures citizens that he has not travelled out of the country as claimed by other people.
President Kiir stresses that people are wishing him dead but death only comes from God at a time he knows.
The head of state further explains that he has never travelled nor is he in poor health due to corona virus.
President Salva Kiir was speaking to the media on Monday at his resident in Juba.
