The newly appointed Director General of the Ministry of Health, Russel Tamara says the EX FOL fitness centre in Port Vila and the Vanuatu Nursing School will also become quarantine centres.
Beds that were used during the 2017 South Pacific Mini Games have been sent to these new quarantine centres.
There are 74 positive cases in Port Vila and Vila Central Hospital has no capacity to accommodate them.
Tamata was former Director General (DG) of the Ministry of Health but was suspended last year over the allegations of misuse of covid funds.
