The 26-year old suspected Coronavirus “patient” who escaped
from Wilkins Infectious Disease Hospital on Sunday presented himself to the
isolation centre this morning.
City Health director Dr Prosper Chonzi who confirmed the
latest development said the suspect is now under isolation at the hospital and
will only be released upon testing negative.
Dr Chonzi said his results are expected later in the day.
“We are keeping an eye on him and we are happy that he is
back for us to conduct the necessary tests. He is currently in isolation until
we are sure that he does not have the virus,” said Dr Chonzi.
The man escaped on Sunday afternoon shortly after
presenting to the facility after having been referred by a private clinic where
he had initially sought medical attention. Herald
