Nkhoma Synod of the CCAP has refuted rumours hovering on the social media that the church has obtained an injunction against new measurers set out by government aimed at controlling the spread of coronavirus.

On Sunday, Minister of Health Khumbize Kandodo Chiponda announced new measures aimed at fighting COVID-19 and some of the measures include restriction of public gatherings of more than 10 people.

Apart from that, Chiponda also introduced mandatory use of face mask among Malawians across the country.

On Monday afternoon, the social media was awash with reports that Nkhoma Synod has obtained an injunction over the said rules.

But Deputy General Secretary of the CCAP Nkhoma Synod, Rev Brian Kamwendo, the rumours are just mere fabrication.

Rev Kamwendo has since advised the church membership and entire Malawians to follow all Covid-19 preventive measures to curb the spread of the pandemic.

Meanwhile unconfirmed reports indicate that CDEDI Acting Executive Director Sylvester Namiwa is contemplating on obtaining an injunction over the matter.
