Zimbabwe Reports First Coronavirus Death
Zimbabwe’s second coronavirus patient, Zororo Makamba, a 30-year-old man, has died in the capital Harare today.
“The Minister of Health and Child Care, Dr Obadiah Moyo has confirmed the death of Zororo Makamba, who was the second person to test positive for Covid-19 in Zimbabwe,” the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation tweeted.
Makamba was confirmed positive with the virus on Saturday.
He had travelled to New York late last month and returned home on March 9, transiting through Johannesburg in neighbouring South Africa.
The government said he began showing mild flu-like symptoms on March 12 that progressively worsened. He consulted a doctor and was instructed to self-quarantine.
On Friday the country reported its first coronavirus case, a 38-year-old man who returned from Britain to his home in the tourist resort town of Victoria Falls.
The government has closed schools, cancelled public and sporting events and restricted gatherings in a bid to curb the spread of the virus.
It has also prohibited government officials from travelling outside the country, although President Emmerson Mnangagwa at the weekend flew to Namibia to attend the swearing-in ceremony of his counterpart Hage Geingob.
