Somalia's health ministry has announced that the country is now able to test for coronavirus in the capital, Mogadishu.
Previously samples were being flown more than 1,200km (742 miles) to Kenya's capital, Nairobi, for testing.
The ministry's National Public Health Research Laboratory (NPHRL) has now been equipped to carry out the tests.
The ministry tweeted photographs showing the laboratory:
