The Ministry of Health has confirmed that there are 10 975 cases of Covid-19 and 279 deaths in Eswatini.

The Acting Prime Minister ordered a partial lockdown of Eswatini from January 8 until further notice.  All non-essential services are closed and the public is asked to avoid unnecessary travel or movement.  Grocery stores, hospitals and pharmacies remain open.  We are closely monitoring the situation should further restrictions be implemented.
