Covid-19 patient accuses Malawi government of faking his illness
A suspected Covid-19 patient in Nkhotakota District has accused Malawi government through the Ministry of Health (MoH) of faking his illness.
The 26-year-old patient whom the Malawi government claimed he was
diagonised with the virus on April 11 2020 claim he has no any symptom of the virus.
“I feel that government has faked my illness for its own reasons. I have never fallen sick since they said I have the virus. I have suffered humiliation because of the fake Covid-19 results”, the patient said in quotes reported by The Nation newspaper of April 23, 2020.
The father of the suspected patient told the daily that the family has been receiving death threat because of the virus.
“Some community members have been planing to torch my house. Life has become unbearable. We just want an independent expert to do his own test,” he said.
The family further suspects the process government is undertaking while diagonising Coronavirus is questionable.
“They collected samples on April 10, promising that the results would be out by April 14. But we were surprised to see them coming the following day saying the results turned positive. This was contradicting their initial remarks. My son is okay and able to do his farm work. We just want to know about his alleged illness,” said the father.
So far, the country has 33 registered cases of Covid-19 with five more cases confirmed in the Capital Lilongwe.

Why after testing this guy the government did not quarantine him?Malawi doctors are being paid to lie to the world about this coronavirus, so that money should come into the country in big figures and share amongst themselves, dishonesty people should not handle this issue the same with MEC commissioners should not handle the presidential election.
Some people who have Covid are asymptomatic. Koma ubulutu ndikufa komwe. Don’t u people ever listen or ever do research or read anything!!? Kuchititsa Manyazi. This fool had corona and is asymptomatic, his relatives better watch out and quarantine him. Otherwise wakufwa wonse wali ni Bvima aids, bp,sugar. Walutenge!!
You don’t know even who was supposed to quarantine this guy, this means he didn’t test positive. In other Countries those who are positive, can not even be at home, the person has to be taken by the Government for treatment, I’m wondering it is only in Malawi where the family has to quarantine the positive person, I mean mutu ukumawawa ndi umbuli tikuchita kuno kwathu. Ndipo ndiwe galu kobasi.
Listen, this guy if he was positive, he was supposed to be under treatment! Treating the symptoms since the actual virus doesn’t have Medication.
Just a minute. Where did Malawi get their test kits from? If it’s from China yiu can expect them to give fake results. In India they were over 90% wrong! The entire batch had to be thrown out.
the issue is that… we Malawians we are not taking this pendemic seriously…. tikufa ngat makoswe…
It’s not Malawians but those in Authority …they are not serious …Anatowauza anthu ngati kuti if u have tested positive ndi Corona …Basi ufa ….But the truth is Corona ndi yoopsa kwa Anthu a Zaka zina zake komanso omwe Ali ndi matenda Kali…Same thing happened with that guy from Chikwawa …Disputing of results …It just shows kuti Anthuwa are not being told Zoona zenizeni za Corona ….The Intention is to Cause Panic….Ngati uli ndi asthma ,Diabetis ,BP ,matenda a mtima,cancer ,amayi oyembekezera ,immunity yako ndi yotsika chifukwa cha hiv etc Ngati uli ndi Zaka 60 kapena kupitirira apo Uli gulu la anthu omwe Ali pa chiopsezo chachikulu kuphatikizapo ngati umasuta fodya …Anthu ngati Amenewa ndiomwe anakamhala Oyamba kupatsidwa ma mask ….To be encouraged to Stay at Home Osati Ntchito Kulengezesa ma Nambala….
The main issue is misinformation by the opposition especially Mcp in the central region.
Malibeku are you not just stupid? From your comments looks like everybody is dumb but you. You are blaming everyone except government. You are pathetic
I think this guy doesn’t deserve all the bad names we are calling him. We need to give enough information to our patients and Ofcourse the general public about this new disease. Lack of information is not being stupid or dumb as other semi educated people are calling him here. Infact those who were supposed to provide the information are the ones to blame and deserve some of the adjectives we are using here.
If SA dziko lochita bwino amakuyetsa lero udikile 3 to 4 days Malawi ali ndizoyetsera zapamwamba? Inu !!
Malawi gets funding and has different partners helping in this fight. Just because you are in S.A does not mean it is the epitome or standard for everyone. Some of the kits are from countries like Denmark. Stop spewing nonsense.
There reminds me, can the Government give us a report from the Doctor about Ken Zikhale on his Coronavirus please! I’m sure if it was that he is, it would be avery day on MBCtv, but you are quite, why?
The problem here is the stigma. Shame.
If he tested positive, what advise was given to him and the family?
Were they advised of isolation?
Any follow up with his contacts?
how come government followed a KK man and yet so many who returned from high risk countries were not followed, not even a single phone call…
I have never seen a fool like this one. Why not be thankful that you are feeling well. You think this pandemic is a joke. You have been influenced by so called evil politicians to think this way you idiot. Mind you,this is not politics
I wish it comes back to you again to shut your stinky mouth. You never know that the virus is still hiding in you. You
Pitiliza kunena zopusazo uchuke ndi iwe pa Malawi
MBUZI IWE
Don’t bring your dpp emotions here, be objective and do not insult. The truth does not mutate, it remains the truth.
why Malawi?
Corona-virus can be asymptomatic meaning some people do not show symptoms BUT they can infect others with the virus.
Does this dumb stupid person know that Coronavirus can be asymptomatic meaning he cannot show any symptoms but still be a carrier. We need to educate people on this virus as such dumb people will.keep showing up. My god !
Chitsiru iwe, iweyo ndiye kuti ndiye kuti you’re a carrier and should register for the same!! Why force our relation to accept your nonsense? Chitsiruuuuuuuuuuu!! Ngati ndikuna ndalama ndiye mwasowa nazo kulowela!! If you want more numbers on Covid 19, osangowelanga ma supporters anuwo bwa? Fotseki zanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!
Which treatment is given to a person who is Coronavirus positive? Men! If it is locally transmission, the symptoms can be high than that imported. I challenge you, in Africa we are treating the symptoms not the actual virus because we still have no medication of this virus. So how come you call someone that he or she is positive without having symptoms? You can not and don’t do that if it may happen, to keep the person who is positive not treated or leave the person at own home! That is nonsense! This guy was supposed to be at the hospital receiving treatment to his symptoms because we are treating symptoms. Prove him wrong then by do the test again!
If he was asymptomatic, why was he tested in the first place?
Anyone suspected of having the virus by the fact that they may have been in contact with someone with the virus is subject to testing.
Therefore you are a carrier! Stupid. Idiot. Keep on sending the Central guys on panic, try North muwone mmene muyalukire. Munthu wapezeka ndi matenda, why leave him free like that with the public? Devil incarnate! Ndimayesa ku Lilongwe kulimalo wothandizila anthu odwala COVID-19? The place look deserted up until now, but the number of patients increases. Nde abale a wodwala wuja adamwali ndi asthma kukalyeka alusatu; they had their names and contacts taken and promised to be tested later, only to hear from the professional doctor lying to the nation that they have COVID-19 and are being observed at home and are in stable condition. What a lie!!! Muwona NYEKHWE! Kaphale ndi uwu wakatengako kalata yake ku court, watopa! Muwona mupanga bwanji!
Just another misguided mcp supporter denying presence of COVID-19 in Malawi because it is interfering with their boss’ presidential dream.
You cannot show your ignorance on this forum mr Scott. This has nothing to do with mcp as you have put it. Do you know this family.
It has Mcp written all over it. Kufa because they are from Nkhotakota and have to support Chakwera .. stupidity basi
You sound like you are running away from Election misguided by your master.
With this strategy Mcp has adopted by the end of Corona .. the elections will be a two way race between saulosi and Apm, that coalition won’t last.
umafuna ufe nawo kut ukhulupirire? mmene chimuthu banda anatenthedwera muja .ngati mwachila ingoyamikani mulungu
Ignorance. People can have corona-virus without showing symptoms. PLEASE. umbuli umenewu wamtundu wanji? Nyasa Times, try and shed light on corona-virus.
Bodzatu ili@ Banda, The Government is treating the symptoms of the virus not the virus since the virus has not yet have it’s medication Wawa,, you remember the story of the other woman who was taking ARVs while she was not positive? If what you are saying here is true, then you have Coronavirus though you don’t have symptoms.
Let’s agree that. Nonsense!
U don’t understand go to WHO page and read again other than kulemba zopepela. Misguided info
Samples taken on the 10th and they said that results would be out by 14th. Where is the contradiction when results were out on the 11th? Out by…. and out on….is different…come on….
Why the Government did not quarantined him and give him treatment? The guy is home and strong that he is farming at home without any problems. This case I can win! If you say nyoo! Let’s meet at the Court. I will look for this family and represent them at the High Court and see how much your Government can pay.
This guy is saying the truth. The government did not quarantine him or place him under observation. Should this really turn out he indeed was positive why did government expose the Dwangwa community to covid 19. We have seen this guy going around freely. So government deliberately exposed citizens to covid 19. Mumafuna ndalama eti.
Why not put him under quarantine in the first place? Ku North sangayelekeze, akudziwa!
