President Dr Lazarus Chakwera has hailed progress being registered in the fight against COVID-19 and has applauded efforts by the corporate world and private citizens in mobilising financial and material resources to be allocated to health facilities across the country.

Malawi Congress Party (MCP) says the death of Muhammad Sidik Mia is a big loss to the nation as he was very patriotic and had the welfare of his countrymen at heart.

President Dr Lazarus Chakwera has discribed the passing of two senior Cabinet Ministers Lingson Belekanyama and Sidik Mia as an 'incalculable loss'.

President Dr Lazarus Chakwera has gone into 21 days of prayer and fasting seeking divine intervention from God to end the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
