Karonga district council has disclosed plans to establish new camps in order to decongest camps housing families affected by floods.
This follows President Peter Mutharika’s directive on Corona virus.
Mutharika ordered that gatherings of people should not be of more than one hundred people as one way of preventing the spread of the virus.
Despite the directive, more than one hundred people are still staying in camps following devastating floods that hit Karonga district.
District commissioner for Karonga, Paul Kalilombe said the council is assessing the possibility of creating new camps in order to meet the president’s directive.
Kalilombe said currently over four thousand people are in camps and appealed to well wishers to help with sanitation materials, food and tents to be used by the affected families, once the new camps have been established.
