Ministry of Health Permanent Secretary for Technical services Kennedy Malama has urged the public to continue adhering to the COVID-19 prevention rules even though the number of cases being recorded have drastically reduced.
Dr Malama has also attributed the reduction in COVID19 cases to the continued efforts by all stakeholders in the fight against the pandemic.
ZANIS reports that Dr Malama said this in a speech read on his behalf by Chief Health Promotions Officer, Winfredah Mulenga when the Zambia Public Relations Association (ZAPRA) donated over 500 washable face masks to Minibus drivers, conductors and commuters at Lusaka’s Kulima bus station in Lusaka today.
Dr Malama has since thanked ZAPRA for the timely donation.
“The reduction in cases and deaths due Covid19 is as a result of continued efforts by all stakeholders such as yourselves. This donation today attests to the fact that we stand as a winning team in the fight against Covid19” he said.
And speaking at the same event, ZAPRA President, Mwamba Siame said the Association decided to partner with the Government and all the other stakeholders in the fight against the pandemic.
“In addition to the 5 golden rules, ZAPRA would like to propose a message which says #tell your neighbor about coronavirus. We think that as a combined effort with the ministry of health and ZNPHI we can pass this message on to bus drivers, conductors and commuters that we have targeted today” she said.
And the receivers of the masks have expressed gratitude for the donation.
COVID 19 IS NOT FOR ALL APPARENTLY
WHEN HAS OUR PRESIDENT SAID ANYTHING AGBOUT THIS VIRUS
WHEN DID HE GET HIS VACCINATION WILL WE EVER BE TOLD ???
PLUS THE MIN OF HEALTH IS NOT GIVING REGULAR UPDATES
THIS GOEVERNMENT IS A DISGRACE IN THIS REGARD
KENYA ANNOUINCED THE GETTING 30 MILLION J&J VACCINES
JUST HIGHLIGHTS THIS COUNTRIES LACK OF CONCERN FOR THE FUTURE AND THE POOR SOLES THAT HAVE PASSED AWAY
THEY CAN NEVER BE FORGIVEN FOR THIS
Government, stakeholders, health workers working non-stop to kill the Covid-19. We should not waste their hard work by our foolishness. So, adhering to the prevention guidelines is a must.
Yes, the deadly virus is still there in Zambia and we don’t want a third wave to arise. People of this nation should continue wearing a face mask, social distancing, and hand sanitizing all the time.
We are blessed to have such a wonderful administration because of their efforts the Covid-19 situation was not worst here in Zambia as compared to other African countries.
We don’t want that because of some dull people who refused to wear the masks and violate the Covid-19 prevention guidelines, the whole country to suffer.
Arrest UPND cadres as they are roaming around without wearing masks. Wonder why they always found breaching the law!
Most of the Zambians are responsible citizens of this country, we won’t let President Lungu’s government down. #MaskUp
Hats off to our health workers, they are real soldiers of Zambia. Thanks for saving the lives of many Zambians!
Happy to know the fact that there are such people that genuinely care about Zambians.
There is no doubt that the decrease in cases and deaths of Covid-19 patients is possible by continued efforts of all stakeholders and even the health sector.
The virus is here to stay for a long period of time. Taking the Covid-19 vaccine and following the prevention guidelines is the only solution.
