HARARE, April 10 (Xinhua) -- The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Zimbabwe has risen to 13 after two more people tested positive for the virus, the Ministry of Health and Child Care said Friday.

The new cases involved two 21-year-old male residents of Harare who recently traveled from Britain together with another COVID-19 patient who was diagnosed on Monday, the ministry said in an update.

"As part of contact tracing and follow-up, the local COVID-19 Rapid Response Team visited their homes and samples were collected for COVID-19 testing. Both are clinically stable, with mild disease and under self-isolation at home," the ministry said.

The number of COVID-19 deaths remains at three in the country, which is currently under a 21-day national lockdown until April 19. Enditem
