South Sudan vice-president Riek Machar has recovered from coronavirus, the BBC reports.
Mr Machar’s wife, Angelina Teny, who is also the defence minister, has recovered from the virus too.
The two tested positive for coronavirus three weeks ago.
The Sudan Tribune newspaper quoted a statement from Mr Machar’s office as saying that he had been discharged on Saturday having fully recovered.
The two officials were discharged after the second coronavirus tests confirmed negative results.
‘’The two leaders are therefore expected to resume their daily active public office duties anytime soon, hopefully by Monday, 8 June, 2020,’’ the newspaper quotes the statement as saying.
