●3 new Coronavirus cases
Malawi, which had no single Covid-19 case by Wednesday last week, now has eight such cases.
In fact, one of Malawi's Covid-19 patients has just died.
The country had four Covid-19 cases as of Monday, April 6, 2020.
Chairperson for the Special Cabinet Committee on Covid-19, Jappie Mhango, said on Tuesday this means Malawians have to take the government's guidelines seriously.
"We, as the government, have set up several testing centres but we would like to urge citizens to follow guidelines as set out by his excellency the State President, Professor Peter Mutharika," Mhango said.
Mutharika has put in place measures, including that workers should work in shifts, fuel prices be reduced to cushion the impact of Covid-19 on transportation costs, people should not meet at rallies, religious and other gatherings.
However, Mutharika has dismissed the possibility of a lock-down, saying Malawi's situation is different from that of other countries.
