Swaziland (eSwatini) Prime Minister Ambrose Dlamini has been admitted to hospital after developing ‘mild symptoms’ of coronavirus, a government statement said on Monday (23 November 2020).
The 36-word statement said doctors recommended he be admitted for ‘’monitoring and recuperation’.
The Times of eSwatini later reported he was in the intensive care unit (ICU). It reported Dlamini had been taken to Mbabane Government Hospital’s ICU at around 11 a.m. on Monday. ‘His security detail remained outside the ICU door ensuring that he was safe, while doctors and nurses attended to him.’
It reported Minister of Health Lizzie Nkosi saying they had admitted Dlamini to the ICU because there was no private ward available. ‘Even if you want to place anybody in a private ward, there is none presently in the country’s government health facilities,’ she said.
The Times reported, ‘When asked on whether the PM’s condition was critical, Minister Nkosi said they would update the nation should the need arise.’
Dlamini last week announced that he had tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).
