Two people in Mutare have been tested for Covid-19 after
exhibiting symptoms consistent with the disease.
Acting Manicaland provincial medical director Dr Munyaradzi
Mukuzunga said the samples had been sent to Harare and they were waiting for
results.
He said one of the two suspected cases was admitted at
Mutare Provincial Hospital where he had presented with Malaria symptoms.
“We have taken samples from two people and we are waiting
for the results. One is self-isolating at home while we wait for the results
and we have been following up on them. The one at Mutare Provincial Hospital
tested positive for Malaria but the doctor who attended to him noticed that he
was also exhibiting some symptoms consistent with Covid-19 and a test was
ordered,” said Dr Mukuzunga.
He said the patient was still at the hospital but
recovering well. Manica Post
