    In a statement issued Wednesday, the foreign ministry said the central Otjozundjopa region and the area surrounding the capital Windhoek were the most affected, with 24 positive cases reported in each area.

    “The cases were reported mainly from Otjozondjupa region (24 out of 37 suspected cases), Khomas (24 out of 138 suspected cases), and Kavango East (6 out of 15 suspected cases),” the statement reads.

    The cases were reported from July 2022 to date. Some of the cases were also investigated for Covid-19, but tested negative.

    The southern African country experienced a large-scale swine flu outbreak in 2009-10, when over 8,000 suspected cases were reported.
