Updated

Protesters tore down a makeshift COVID-19 hospital in Ivory Coast's capital Abidjan on Sunday (April 6) night.

To the banging of pots and pans, and cries of "we don't want it", the angry residents of Yopougon dismantled the partially built structure.

The person filming the scene is saying they are opposed to the facility, for treating those with the new coronavirus, being built quote "right in the middle of the Ivorian population".

Market stalls on a road leading to the structure were also set ablaze.

Ivory Coast had more than 260 cases of COVID-19 as of Monday (April 6) morning and authorities have been building makeshift hospitals across the capital.
