Health Minister Nkaku Kabi said 48 samples that were sent for testing at the National Institute of Communicable Diseases in South Africa came back negative.
Rustenburg – Forty-eight suspected Covid-19 cases in Lesotho tested negative, Health Minister Nkaku Kabi said on Monday.
Addressing the nation in a televised speech, he said out of the 48 cases, one was of a Mosotho who reportedly hosted a South African national in April, who upon arrival in South Africa tested positive for coronavirus. However, Basotho, who were reported to have been in close contact with that person, tested negative even after self-isolation.
The fight against Covid-19 in Lesotho received a major boost when the country received donations from China.
