Covid-19: Govt turns Kamuzu Stadium into a waiting bay

Government has turned Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre into a waiting bay for people repatriated from South Africa.

The move comes as a result of congestion at Mwanza border forcing the government to opt for another venue to be used as a bay for people who have undergone coronavirus test on return from South Africa.

Both Director of Health in the Ministry of Health Dr. Charles Mwansambo and spokesperson in the Ministry of Sports Simon Bvundula confirmed the development.

However, Bvundula said Kamuzu Stadium was not a quarantine centre for repatriated nationals but a waiting bay for people awaiting Covid-19 test results.

Recently, Football Association of Malawi (Fam) offered its Mzuzu based Luwinga Technical Centre to the government to be used as an isolation centre for Covid-19 patients.

However, people from the surrounding area vandalised the facility in protest over the move.
