Two people on treatment for coronavirus at treatment facility die – as another person’s death also gets related to the disease

Two people on treatment for coronavirus at a treatment facility have died while another person’s death is also being related to coronavirus after posthumously testing positive for the disease.

The health ministry in a report on Sunday said three new COVID-19 related deaths have been recorded bringing the total number of deaths to 87.

“While 2 of the new deceased cases were COVID-19 patients at a treatment centre, one tested positive when his sample was collected posthumously,” the ministry said.

It added: “Out of a total of 12 posthumous sample results received, only 1 returned positive for COVID-19. The median age, at death, of the deceased cases (2 males and 1 female) is 89 years (range: 37 to 93 years).”
