WINDHOEK, May 21 (Xinhua) -- Namibia has recorded two new cases of COVID-19 after 45 days without new infections, Health Minister Kalumbi Shangula announced on Thursday.
The news comes as a blow to the southwest African nation with only two cases remaining after 14 of the previous cases tested negative.
Shangula said the two cases tested positive while in quarantine. A 66-year-old Namibian female resident and another female citizen aged 28 had both returned from neighbouring South Africa, Africa's most affected country.
The detection of the two cases, after a period of 45 days without a new case, should rekindle our resolve to intensify our fight against COVID-19 in the country, the minister said. Enditem
