“Some of them have rented apartments but some also live on the streets. For those without a place of abode, we currently have 15,000 that we are going to cater for.
“There is going to be food, water and we have corporate bodies cooking for them,” the Minister said as she addressed the press during the Ministry of Information’s press conference to provide updates on enhanced measures being taken by government to address the coronavirus pandemic,” she added.
