Four government Ministers in Burkina Faso are reported to have been infected by the Coronavirus, as the number of reported cases rose to 64 from 40, the highest in West Africa.
Officials confirm that the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Mines, Education, and the Interior have all tested positive for COVID-19.
A Government spokesman said last week that there were only 400 coronavirus test kits available in Burkina Faso, with only three health facilities in the country able to carry out the tests.
