Covid-19: Malawi response team receives 38,000 test kits boost

The Coronavirus test kits shortage in Malawi has come to an end following the arrival of 38,000 test kits.

The test kits arrived Wednesday through Kamuzu International Airport in Lilongwe.

According to Director of Health Services in the Ministry of Health, Charles Mwansambo, the arrival of the test kits was delayed due to problems in flights to Malawi.

Yesterday, Phuka said the Ministry of Health has now reverted to normal testing – contacts of positive cases as well as people with symptoms will be tested.

Phuka, however, added that it remains the responsibility of health workers to determine who get tested.
