Malawi has recorded the first coronavirus-related death of a patient in Blantyre, health officials confirmed to Nyasa Times.
The victim is 51-year old Malawian lady of Indian origin who had other underlying health conditions.
It comes as Ministry of Health and Population Jappie Mhango announced on Monday that five people had tested positive for the virus.
“The patient had underlying health conditions,” a doctor in Blantyre who refused to be named told Nyasa Times
“No further information will be available to protect patient confidentiality.”
Blantyre District Council director of health and social services Gift Kawalazira referred Nyasa Times Ministry of Health Spokesperson Joshua Malango. But Malango said Minister of Health Mhango is will give an update to the nation on the status of Covid-19 at 11am on Tuesday.
During the news conference, Mhango confirmed the details.

…….the anatomy of a conspiracy This reminds me of where i come from.
justice Kenyatta has taken an early lead.
New world order network G5 🙌🙌🙌 God help us from this evil against humanity, we can’t be dying like this Kuti ena atchuke
It seems that the lady who passed away was refused treatment at the hospital as the private hospitals are not equipped to treat Covid patients. She needed ventilator but wasn’t able to get one. I don’t think we are prepared here for handling Covid 19 patients
Nkhondoyi yafika posauzana ,apa chomwe chilipo ndikutenga ndalama zomwe timati ndi zachisankho chopanda ntchito chomwe chikubwerachi tithandizire m’zipatala kuti ntchito yolimbana ndi kachilombo ka korona ikhale yopambana .
Tithanso kutenga ndrama zonse zimene a DPP amaba including K145million anaba a president a DPP ija. Does Chimulirenji need K100million a month to run his low level ministerial operations? All this money can buy quite a few ventilators that will help with this fight.
Dear Health Minister,
There is a new rapid covid 19 diagnostic machine invented in UK from Cambridge university.
£2.4Million can get you 100 of these point of care machines. Malawi can afford this. Tapani from the Billions put aside that is ngati zilipodi.
Thanks.
Dont buy things from China please.
Kupelewera nzeru uku. Uk akufa anthu ambiri bwanji osatheka vuto kuti anthu atengelepo phuziro
To protect PATIENTS confidentially? Is a dead person still a patient?
They should answer your question
kkkkkkk kwathu kuno ndife opusa kwambiri we honour the dead more than the living. Angotiuza kuti si covid-19 yomwe wafa nayo mayiyu.
Game yavuta basi apa changamukani inu a Muthalika kumene muli inuko osamangoti bwa bwa bwa ayi anthutu aluza miyoyo ngati simukuwathaniza muzipatalano
Don’t point fingers at Munthalika, point fingers to the one who has reported this baseless story…..There’s no disease related to Corona than Corona itself.
