The city of Dano, located in southwestern Burkina Faso, is the eleventh city placed under quarantine after the confirmation of a case of Coronavirus, APA learnt Monday.
“The governor of the south-western region decided today March 30, 2020 to quarantine the city of Dano until further notice,” the official statement copied to APA on Monday said.
