On Tuesday, the minister of health Jappie Mhango announced a 21 day lockdown o start on April 18 and end on May 9.
Addressing the media this morning in Lilongwe, HRDC asked President Peter Mutharika to suspend the lockdown he ordered.
HRDC leaders said government has not made an analysis on how the lockdown is going to affect poor people in absence of cushioning measures.
