The Kingdom of Eswatini has strengthened its lockdown regulations following an increase of COVID-19 cases since last month. So far, more than 4 000 positive COVID-19 cases have been recorded and about 140 people have died due to the virus.
The Eswatini government has announced that international travelling will only be allowed for medical attention, schooling, work and business.
Social gatherings have been banned and burials beyond the three-day period from the date of death will require a permit.
