In November 2019, Tohow, a Somali who also held a British passport,  traveled to the United Kingdom before returning to Somalia. On March 2020, he was felling sick in Jowhar, the capital of Hirshabelle State, he was sent to Mogadishu for treatment on April 7, he was later tested positive for novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, on April 9, 2020.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Khalif Mumin Tohow died from COVID-19 at Martini Hospital in Mogadishu on April 12, 2020, just 3 days after testing positive for the virus due to lack of care at Martini Hospital. Tohow was Somalia's second recorded fatality from COVID-19.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Following Tohow's death, Somali authorities quarantined and self-isolated Hirshabelle State President Mohammed Abdi Waare and Southwest State President Abdiaziz Hassan Mohamed Laftagareen at their homes since they had recently been in close contact with Tohow.<\/p>\r\n<\/p>
