Malawi government through the Ministry of Health has confirmed 18 new cases of Covid-19 bringing the total number of cases to 101 including 4 deaths in Malawi.
Minister in the Ministry, Jappie Mhango confirmed the new cases on Monday during a press briefing held in Mzuzu.
Mhango said 15 of them are those that were repatriated recently from Zimbabwe while the others are a 26-year-old man who recently returned from Tanzania and a 34-year-old who arrived recently from South Africa
According to Mhango, out of 101 confirmed cases 60 are active cases, 37 have recovered while 4 lost their lives.
Meanwhile, the Ministry has appealed to members of the general public to practice COVID-19 preventive measures in order to contain the spread of the disease in the country.
It’s a relief to know that Malawians are practicing social distancing effectively……because all the new cases that we are hearing about are deliberately imported from the outside world.
Ironically it was the same government that took judge Kenyatta to task after releasing those three Chinese nationals who now we did not even have the coronavirus.
One wonders therefore, why our borders are still open with covid cases flowing into our country every day…what is the DPP government motive….?
If it is about stopping the June elections please get over it, there is no way you can stop these elections now, stop this self inflicted covid epidemic…..
