A Thai national who fled from quarantine before doctors could test him for coronavirus has since returned for testing and has been declared negative, according to Zimbabwe’s information ministry.
The 26-year-old man had been referred to Wilkins Hospital in the capital, Harare, earlier this week with a fever.
He arrived in Zimbabwe on 14 February from Thailand and had been described as low-risk.
The ministry said the man had since been discharged from hospital.
Zimbabwe has no confirmed case of coronavirus.
