The COVID-19 pandemic was confirmed to have reached Eswatini in March 2020.

On 14 March, the country's first case of COVID-19 was confirmed. A 33-year-old woman, who returned from the United States at the end of February and then traveled to Lesotho before returning home to Eswatini, is currently in isolation.[2] Two suspected cases were identified by 11 March 2020, the first a woman returning from Denmark (or possibly Germany[3]), and the other a woman who had hosted visitors from Germany.[4]

On 24 March 2020, the ministry of health announced a fifth confirmed case. A 52-year-old male who had traveled to the United States earlier in the same month had tested positive.[5]

On 16 April 2020, the country recorded its first COVID-19-related death, a 59-year-old man with diabetes.[6]
