Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi on Wednesday was released from isolation at home after testing negative for coronavirus, the presidency said.
The southern African country's leader went into a 14-day self-quarantine on March 21 after a visit to neighbouring Namibia for an inauguration ceremony.
"The Office of the President wishes to inform the public that the Director of Health Services has released... (the) President of the Republic of Botswana from home quarantine with immediate effect," said a statement on Wednesday.
"This follows the release of his COVID-19 test results yesterday which came out negative."
