Comoros has confirmed its first case of the coronavirus disease. The east African island nation was one of the only few nations without any case in the pandemic.

President Azali Assoumani explained the 50 year-old patient is a dual national of Comoros and France. He also confirmed contact tracing has been initiated to track down the disease spread.


This development leaves Lesotho as the only African country to have no recorded case of the coronavirus disease. The continent has recorded a total of 37,391 case with about a third recovery rate. The death toll currently stands at 1,598.
