The first confirmed Covid-19 patients in the capital Lilongwe are reported to be in a stable condition.

Lilongwe District Health office publicist Richard Mvula said the trio might be declared fully recovered should the situation remain.

Three patients confirmed of Covid-19 in Lilongwe have been said to be in stable condition.

According to Mvula, the three were not given any treatment since there is no vaccine for the virus.

He added that the three were only given pain killers if they complained of body pains and headache.

Meanwhile, 60 people suspected to have been in contact with the three have been traced and tested.
