The number of confirmed infections of Covid-19 tested in
Zimbabwe reached 985 by last night, with 18 deaths and 328 confirmed
recoveries.
The Ministry of Health and Child Care reported three more
cases yesterday, two of returnees from South Africa in quarantine and one local
infection, who is a contact of a confirmed case.
On Saturday, the ministry confirmed an extra 40 new
infections, 30 of them infected within Zimbabwe although 13 of these were at
Mpilo Hospital and three in a Matabeleland South quarantine centre.
There were five deaths reported that day, three within the
community and two in facilities.
However, the death figures may be adjusted when the results
of the post mortems are ready, since Covid-19 may not be the cause or a
contributor to a particular death.
South Africa now has 3 971 confirmed Covid-19 deaths from
264 184 cases. The number of cases is the ninth worst in the world, although
the number of deaths is far less than other countries. Herald
