Several high profile leaders have had COVID-19 (thinking of Boris Johnson and Donald Trump), but the Prime Minister of Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland) tested positive for COVID-19 on November 16 and died in a South African hospital. Obviously, not certain if the two are connected, but seems like a reasonable conclusion given the timing. If so, I think he would be the first head of government to die from COVID-19. He was 52.
