First case of coronavirus registered in eSwatini The Health Ministry in eSwatini says the country has registered its first suspected case of the deadly coronavirus.
Director of Health Services in eSwatini, Dr. Vusi Magagula says the person has been placed in quarantine and blood samples have been taken for further analysis.
“She presented with a fever and was at the hospital then the rapid response team took over and took up the case. She came through the Ngwenya Port of Entry on February 6 having arrived from the Republic of South Africa. I don’t think she was presenting with any symptoms, we only picked her up on the 14th because she was already now in hospital, ill and had to be admitted to the isolation ward. So I guess when she passed through OR or even through Ngwenya border post she didn’t have the symptoms.
