Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Health and Child Care on Friday reported that the country had recorded two more coronavirus cases.
The Ministry also said that the new patients were 21-year-old males who had contact with the 10th case, a female, who they had travelled with to the United Kingdom.
In a statement released on 10 April 2020, the Ministry said:
The two new cases involve 2 (two) 21-year-old male residents of Harare who travelled from the UK together with case #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.
This comes when it is alleged that the elderly and people with preexisting conditions are more vulnerable to the deadly pandemic compared to young and healthy people.
Meanwhile, the vaccine for the virus has not yet been found hence the need to adopt preventive measures to avoid the spread and transmission of the virus.
