Chinese visitor to Zim tests negative for Coronavirus at Wilkins Hospital. The announcement of her health status quo was made by the government. A Chinese national who had travelled from Hunan Province of China and was being examined for Coronavirus at Wilkins Hospital in Harare tested negative to the deadly virus.
This follows after another public announcement that the visitor was being quarantined for coronavirus (covid-19) at Wilkins Hospital For Infectious Diseases. The Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services took to Twitter to give an update on her condition to the anxious Zimbabweans.
“Government would like to update the Nation that the traveller from Hunan Province of China who was under observation at Wilkins Hospital, has tested negative to the Coronavirus(Covid-19).”
The Ministry of Health is placing all people arriving from COVID-19 affected countries on a 21-day self-quarantine to ensure that they are not infected with the virus. Those who breach the self-quarantine will be detained at isolation centres or deported from the country.
The several false cases of COVID-19 have been a learning curve. They gave us the opportunity to move to the next level of total preparedness by all Gvt agencies against the spread of the virus.”
Social media was ablaze with reports that the Chinese national was found to be carrying the Coronavirus when she was examined at Robert Mugabe International Airport on Sunday, however, the government declared that is not the case.
The flagged Chinese national was reported to have attempted suicide by taking an overdose of the penicillin antibiotic after a number of attempts to quarantine her.
Fortunately, her attempt at taking her own life was unsuccessful and she had been re-admitted at Wilkins as other health centres feared to take her in with the unspoken notion that she would spread the virus.
