BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (REUTERS) - Brunei reported its first coronavirus death on Saturday (March 28), that of a 64-year-old man.
Brunei has reported 115 cases of the virus so far, some of which are linked to a religious gathering in Malaysia that authorities said had been attended by about 16,000 people.
The man who died had not attended the gathering but had a history of travel to Malaysia and Cambodia.
