Lesotho remains the only country in Africa with no confirmed
cases of COVID-19.
This is coming after Comoros recorded its first case of
COVID-19 on Thursday.
Lesotho’s Health Minister, Nkaku Kabi, in a statement,
disclosed that the last three samples of suspected COVID-19 cases came out
negative.
“The three samples of suspected Coronavirus included a
sample from a person who died while waiting for results. The tests were
conducted in South Africa and came out negative.
“The result is an encouragement to continue to comply with
the World Health Organization’s and the Ministry of Health’s protocols and
safety measures against the spread of the Coronavirus.”
However, despite not recording any COVID-19 cases, Lesotho
imposed a 21-day lockdown.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional
Office for Africa in Brazzaville, Congo, reported that the number of
Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Africa have risen to over 38,000 in the past 24
hours.
South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, and Cameroon have
continued to top the list of countries with the highest confirmed cases.
