The Red Sea state Ministry of Health has kept about 800 Sudanese army soldiers and paramilitaries of the Rapid Support Forces in quarantine after they arrived by sea to Port Sudan.

Just when Sudan needs its doctors the most, physicians battling the coronavirus across the country have found themselves under attack by policemen and have gone on strike in protest.

Hundreds more are threatening to join the action, as the threat of violence roils hospitals that fear cracking under the added strain after years of underinvestment.

Coronavirus: In Sudan, confusion reigns as hundreds escape quarantine centres

There have only been 10 reported cases so far across the country, but with the virus being transmitted within the population, authorities fear worse is to come.

Medical staff complain that plain-clothed and uniformed policemen have repeatedly attacked doctors as they try to carry out their jobs.

The health ministry, however, is downplaying the issue and promising to draw up legislation to protect its workers.

Police have acknowledged the problem, but attributed the aggression to individual officers, stressing that its forces are disciplined and committed to dealing appropriately with civilians, including doctors. Yet attacks continue.

Sudan: 14 confirmed coronavirus cases

The Sudanese Ministry of Health reported two new cases of coronavirus (Covid-19) infection in Khartoum, bringing the number of confirmed cases to 14. Two patients have died.

Although Sudan has so far reported relatively few cases, the global outbreak has arrived at a time when it faces an economic crisis.

“We are preparing a strategy to face coronavirus that extends until the end of June, but to execute it we urgently need $120 million to provide protective equipment for healthcare workers and to prepare healthcare facilities and advanced lab testing equipment,” said health minister Akram Ali Altom.

Altom serves in the civilian-led government which has run Sudan following a power-sharing agreement with the military signed in August. Exactly one year ago, months of protests brought down three-decade ruler Omar al-Bashir.

Until now, Sudan has reported 19 confirmed coronavirus cases, including two deaths, but Altom said that “if it spreads, Sudan’s situation health-wise and economically means it cannot handle a large outbreak.”
