The patient who fled last Tuesday from the Municipal Hospital of Ombadja, 97 kilometres from Ondjiva, capital of the southern Cunene Province, was found three days later in the neighbouring Republic of Namibia, undergoing treatment.
Its location was the result of information provided by the family.
According to the municipal commander of the National Police in Ombadja, Bernardino de Jesus, the patient, after leaving the Ombadja Hospital, went to the Enguela Hospital and was later referred to another health unit in Oshakanti, both in the Republic of Namibia.
The interim director of the Municipal Hospital of Ombadja, Eusébio Ndilikalashe, informed that measures have already been taken so that cases of the kind will not happen again.
The province of Cunene has 40 positive cases of Covid-19, of which three have already been recovered and 37 are active.
Cunene currently has seven institutional quarantine centres.
