He follows two other COVID-19 victims who passed away during the weekend last week-August 8 and 9 respectively.

He is also the second youngest after the policewoman who died at 24 on June 3.

Following 86 recoveries on August 11, another 46 patients also recovered on Wednesday, August 12, which reduced the number of active cases to 657 and the total recoveries increasing to 1524.

On Wednesday, the country registered 18  new cases, bringing the total confirmed cases of COVID-19 to 2189.

Health officials have expressed concerns that the community is loosening on respecting measures aimed at fighting COVID-19.
