MINISTER of Health Dr Chitalu Chilufya says a medical doctor from Chilenje Hospital and three other individuals from Kafue, Matero and George Compound tested positive to COVID-19 in the last 24 hours, bringing the cumulative total to 74.
At a briefing today, Dr Chilufya said the medical doctor had attended to the 19-year-old from Bauleni Compound who died.
He said the two cases in Matero and George Compounds were discovered after some members of the public tipped the ministry, while the one from Kafue was from the mass screening.
He said mass screening and targeted testing would begin in some parts of Lusaka.

Reports are that a Covid patient was kept in the ward at Kafue General Hospital for 5 days while he awaited results. You need to look into this. So they are putting the health workers under quarantine. Who was in charge and why did this happen? Stop harassing civilians and take care of your mess.
