Malawi has registered 22 new coronavirus cases over the last 24 hours, taking the number of registered cases to 358.
In a statement, Co-Chairperson of the Presidential Taskforce on
COVID-19 Dr. John Phuka said 11 of the cases were identified among
Malawian returning from Republic of South Africa.
“Eight were confirmed in Blantyre of which 6 are healthcare workers
while 1 is a contact of a confirmed case, two from Lilongwe (1 with
travel history to South Africa and 1 still under investigation) and 1
from Ntcheu who recently returned from South Africa,” he said.
Phuka then advised Malawians abroad to take measured to prevent the
coronavirus as the Malawians plan to travel back home on their own as
others have done recently.
“In recognition and support for the effort the returning Malawians
are doing in self-sponsoring their trips, the government will continue
to fulfil its obligation of ensuring they have access to transit
countries with travel restrictions.
“The government will also continue testing for COVID-19 among all the
travelers at the point of entry to ensure that the travellers and the
public are protected,” said Phuka.
He also advised those that are COVID-19 positive to follow self-isolation measures until they are cleared by health personnel.
