Burkina Faso was the latest African country to report of the virus with two cases.

The patients are a couple, one of whom recently returned from France.

They are currently quarantined in hospital. Burkina Faso becomes the 6th sub-Saharan African country to report positive cases of coronavirus.

Egypt (59), Algeria (20) and Nigeria (2) Tunisia (5), Togo (1), Cameroon (2), Morocco (2), Burkina Faso (2), South Africa (7) and Senegal (4) are the cases so far.

The continent has also recorded its first Coronavirus death in Egypt, where the first case on the continent was also confirmed.
