    Harare (New Ziana)-The number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in Zimbabwe has risen to 13 including three deaths, the Ministry of Health and Child Care has said.

    The latest to test positive are two males who are 21-years old. They returned from the United Kingdom in the company of patient number 10.

    The tenth patient, a 21- year old woman tested positive for Covid-19 on 6 April 2020 after returning from the UK.

    In a statement late Friday, the Ministry of Health and Child Care said the two patients were clinically stable at their homes.

    “The Ministry would like to report that today; the National Microbiology Laboratory tested 25 samples. Two of these tested positive for Covid-19. Therefore, to date, Zimbabwe has thirteen confirmed cases of Covid-19 including three deaths.

    “These two new cases involve 21-year old male residents of Harare who travelled from the UK together with case number 10. As part of contact tracing and follow- up, the local COVID-19 Rapid Response Team visited their homes, and samples were collected for Covid-19 testing. Both are clinically stable, with mild disease and under self-isolation at home,” said the Ministry.

    Cumulatively, the country has tested 463 samples for Covid-19.

    Globally, more than 1.5 million confirmed cases of Covid-19 and about 100 000 deaths have been reported to date.
