This thief Chilufya has started you will see how he will start cooking figures to suit him and his party in 2021…they will go to campaign in an area and after that he will announce that figures have raised to stop others coming there. What has happened to the old covid-19 virus has it just disappeared….I hope the donors dont give these reckless thieves money to splash out.
They have suddenly remembered kwati ku tulo ati they needed to report to the country the covid-19 stats. Dear o dear.
Tarino STFU and find better things to do than spread false information endangering the lives of zambians. There where you are in UK your masters have put in place strict measures due to the unacceptable high levels of deaths there so why should we take this virus lightly just because of your political insecurities. You need to mature. Sometimes it is wise to keep quiet if you have nothing better to say that show your stupidity on public forum.
We can no longer believe this figures kind of wanting money from donors
Zambians you must be serious about this pandemic, the western world is losing lives in large numbers due to this disease and America is the worst hit so please follow the instructions from the minister of health there is nothing to joke about.
Better to keep yourself safe than wait to be a victim to learn a lesson from.
nshilimubemba – Meanwhile the old hen Inonge is in Mongu holding a public rally …these are the same people who couldn’t tolerate their own foooolish boy Sampa get married in a stadium with people as it was breaking guidelines….if CNN in the USA announced today that there is another strain of covid-19, Chilufya will be quick to release imaginary figures…what equipment is using to track down this new strain? What happened to the old strain?
Wake up!!!
Bring back those strict measures which were there at the beginning of the pandemic such as only opening bars on weekends, compulsory social distancing, masks, no public gatherings etc.
This is really sad… The cases are surging and we need to be very cautious about this pandemic
If these depts were headed by technocrats and not some corrupt doctor …Zambia would have had been in lockdown already look at Zimbabwe it is already in lockdown,…in Zambia we have a corrupt incompetent self-serving failed lawyer masquerading as a President surrounded by handpicked myopic officials in a kakistocracy.
This pandemic will finish us if we are not careful
honestly i have no idea where these covid tests take place in zambia,i would love to have this information the only thing i hear is 7thousand tests taken but where and what is the criteria?
It really is easy for people to take it lightly but it is a real and deadly thing…
