They say there were almost 29 people in the overflow and 19 more in the main isolation centre.
Currently, the hospital has about 22 patients in the overflow and 15 in the main isolation centre.
Kamuzu Central Hospital Director, Jonathan Ngoma has confirmed the development.

He says during the second wave, they were taken unawares but this time around they planned accordingly.
