Second Covid-19 tests done on samples taken from the late Gogo Nguni, who became the fourth Zimbabwean to succumb to the disease locally, have come out positive.
The Nguni family demanded second tests to be done because the now-deceased person lived in a self-isolated homestead and had never got in touch with anyone from Covid-19 hotspots and never left the country.
The principal director policy, planning, monitoring and evaluation in the Ministry of Health and Child Care Dr Robert Mudyiradima revealed that authorities are now trying to establish the source of the virus. He said:
Obviously someone brought the virus to Gogo and this is what we are trying to establish. Our teams are already seized with the matter and we are hoping to have a clearer picture as soon as possible as contact tracing progresses both in Harare and Mhondoro.
Gogo Nguni, nee Chitemere passed on at West End Hospital on Wednesday morning soon after she arrived at the medical facility.
Before receiving treatment at West End Hospital, Gogo Nguni had earlier experienced a bout of flu, from which antibiotics were prescribed and seemed to have gotten better.

This sounds crazy; where does the family get the impression that someone brought the virus to “the gogo”? They shouldn’t rule out the fact that ” the gogo” could also have gone out and “took” the virus from someone
