Another
island nation, Seychelles, has attained virus-free status after the Health
Ministry announced full recoveries as of Monday, May 18. The country becomes
the third in recent times to achieve the feat behind Mauritius and Eritrea.
The
last cabinet meeting held on May 13 largely focused on COVID-19 containment
efforts in the country as a resumption of life was being rolled out.
The
country’s case tally stood at 11 confirmed cases all of who have been
successfully treated and discharged, 74 others remained in quarantine. The same
was the case with Eritrea where all 39 patients fully recovered, they have in
turn rolled out random extensive testing starting in the capital Asmara and
border towns as well as for frontline health workers.
Over
in Mauritius, out of the 332 cases, 10 deaths were recorded whiles the
remaining 322 all recovered as of May 11, the government portal dedicated to the
pandemic announced.
Meanwhile,
cases continue to rise across Africa as governments continue to roll out
measures to contain spread of the virus.
Wide-ranging
lockdowns are being eased as governments look to restart economic activities.
Most borders, however, remain closed and social distancing regulations are
strongly enforced.
