Malawi plague threat: Covid-19 cases spike again
Covid-19, the strands of coronavirus pandemic case in Malawi are slowly but alarmingly going up with new figures hitting 358.
The Presidential Task force on covid-19 co-chairperson has since called for adherence to Isolation rules.
A statement from the taskforce says Malawi has registered 22 new-Covid-19 cases, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 358.
The country has registered four deaths, 42 recoveries and 312 active cases.
Co-chairperson of the Presidential Task force on Covid-19 Dr. John Phuka says 11 of the new cases were identified among Malawians returning from South Africa.
“Eight were confirmed in Blantyre of which six are health care workers while one is a contact of a confirmed case.
“Two are from Lilongwe (one with travel history to South Africa and one still under investigation).
“The other case has been identified in Ntcheu and recently returned from South Africa,” reads part of the statement.
The statement further calls on Malawians in and outside the country to take precautionary measures aimed at reducing the spread of Covid-19.
“Let me take this opportunity to advise Malawians abroad to observe measures aimed at preventing transmission of SARS-COV 2, the cause of Covid-19.
“Lastly, let me remind those that are Covid-19 positive to strictly adhere to the isolation rules until they are cleared to be virus-free by medical personnel,” he says.
Some people are expressing concern over government decision to open learning institutions amid growing cases of the virus pandemic.
On March 20, President Peter Mutharika declared coronavirus a national disaster in Malawi and on April 2, the country registered its first three cases.

DPP made crisis. Covid 19 pandemic figures being cooked every day by the youthful Dr Philadelphia. 358 known cases, 4 deaths. Hard to believe the authenticity of the reports.
Za ziiii! Umbava basi. Mumangidwa zikadziwika kuti mukunama. Vote on 23 June to get rid of these mfs.
I am just wondering why hrdc is quite even when politicians are converging a lot of people in their whistle stops. I thought tonse alliance claims to be a law abiding alliance . An alliance which will be a servant of people who will put them in power.
Both HRDC and TONSE ALLIANCE know pretty well that Covid 19 in Malawi is just a DPP conspiracy and speaking anything of its measures is as aiding the DPP meet its targets.
You can be recless, it’s you liberty to do so but the moment you try to impose your savegery on me,I will push you away.
A Dr. Phuka, you are still young, these thugs are putting your bright career under threat. When another government comes you will be trimed to size. Do not love quick money. You will suffer the rest of your life
Spot On!! He accepted importation of covid-19 cases. Phuka and his team are as compromised as their masters. Soon and very soon the Egyptians we see today we shall see them.no more.
ZOFUNA DALA.
DPP should not politicize this pandemic by importing cases. You shouldn’t have repatriated citizen from South Africa with the aim of keeping your government in power
Your recovery figure is a concern. It takes only 14 days to recover but you have been reporting same 42 for the past 2 months. By now you should have close to 150 recoveries.
Mxii uwunso nde umbuli which disease can you put recovery days on. Olo confine, Malawian etc. It’s all different. Some people have lower immunity than others. Read up on what’s actually happening world wide. Others 10 days others even 6 weeks
Mbuli ndinu baba. Follow this covid 19 thing and 14 days are 100% enough days for someone to recover
India and China closed there borders to all returning citizens traveling from Foreign Hot Spots. DPP Government chose to import cases from South Africa without first being tested. Yet those returning have expressed they were first tested Negative in South Africa prior to boarding the buses.
Pakistan Supreme Courts over ruled the Government Lock Down saying the lockdown was doing more harm and killing more people than the virus.
Zimbabwe refuses to count imported cases as infections within their country if a infection originated elsewhere.
Covid 19 is a big lie
Covid-19: The Movie. Now enter Dr. John Phuka: let’s import more cases from South Africa (…..to fill the stadium.)
Inuyo mukumati let’s adhere to isolation rules koma mwapangapo chani kuti amene ali mu isolation akhalemodi mpaka achite test negative? I think you don’t know what to do as a committee, you only think your job is to announce new cases pamene you are supposed to be on the ground assisting and providing for those affected.
You cant force a patient he is not a prisoner. The most is to ask him to adhere. Palibe anthu a HIV anatsekeredwa kuwopa kuti angapatsire anzawo
We all know in Malawi DPP is playing a political Game and Making Fun of Corona Virus we do NOT understand the people who have been infected or Declared Corona Positive what Medicine have they been given as for Corona Virus there is NO Cure or Medicine or Vaccine Developed yet
As the Chain of Virus is for 14 Days to 21 Days why the Cases have NOT been cleared Yet or Cured so Far
It means Malawi DHO has NOT conducted Any Tests they are Just increasing the Figures what DPP and APM wants they Just want to KILL Malawians
No cause for a worry anthu akuchira
Dr. Phuka produce 2 graphs of infections over time whether weekly or daily. Graph 1 Total infections over time and Graph 2 Total infections less Imported cases over time. Graph 2 will show whether local transmission is increasing, decreasing or constant. This will give Malawians a clearer picture about the rate of spread of this Covid-19. Currently these figures don’t tell us much.
This is now rubbish. The Technocrats being used in these Covid-19 committees should really feel ashamed. We will all know the truth after the elections.
True. Only 4 deaths (some faked) and no one knows anything about these infected people. Where are they? Anyone in hospital?
Keeping on importing the cases from South Africa hoping for elections to be cancelled. Why bring people from South Africa instead of helping them whilst they are there as other govts are doing?
Don’t cry!! You rejected lockdown. You advocated for their return!! This is what you wanted!!! And you are still maintaining your absurdity that there’s no COVID-19 in Malawi!!!
kodi Anthu opezeka ndi Covid – 19 akusungidwa kuti. Chifukwa chani mukuwalola kuti akakhale ndi mabanja awo. Ndalama zonsezo zikugwira ntchito yanji
Olo ku England akukhala ndimabanja awo malire ache zitafika povuta
