KUWAIT: The Ministry of Defense said yesterday it transformed its camp in Sabhan into a field hospital to be used as quarantine zone. Kuwait Army's Medical Services Authority also prepared the North Medical Complex in Al-Jahra area to be used for quarantine, the public relations department said in a statement.

The authority forced a medical team jointly with the Ministry of Health to run the fully-equipped facilities, it said. The authority also increased the number of rooms to be used for critical cases and quarantine in Sheikh Al-Ahmad Armed Forces Hospital.

This is part of the army's contributions to state's efforts to address spread of coronavirus. The ministry can also use the field hospital for medical checking of all officers who went to Italy, United States and other countries for training courses for possible contamination of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
