State Vice President Saulos Klaus Chilima has again tested negative for the novel Coronavirus two weeks after he took the similar test.

Chilima posted on his Facebook page.

“Earlier in the day, I again went for tests as guided by the health personnel two weeks ago when I was first tested. I have again tested negative,” writes Chilima.

Chilima further expressed concern over the alarming rise of coronavirus cases in the country describing them as frightening.

“The upsurge in Covid-19 cases continues to be alarming and frightening in our country,” he said.

He added; “Over 50 people have succumbed to the disease so far. May their souls Rest In Peace”

He therefore urged people to continue adhering to all preventive measures as a way of halting the spread of the deadly virus.

“Once again, I urge you to continue washing hands regularly, practicing respiratory hygiene, keeping social distance, putting on masks as well as following home remedies that are being recommended by health experts but most importantly by getting tested for COVID-19,” Chilima advised.

Cumulatively Malawi has registered 2, 907 cases with 62 deaths and 1,135 recoveries bringing the total number of active cases to 1,713.
