Some teachers at Licef school in Lusaka say they recently came into contact with people who tested positive to coronavirus.
See internal memo below;
So who are these people who recently returned from Pakistan? Where are they now? Accordingly to minister of health Chitalu Chilufya, there are only three confirmed cases of coronavirus in Zambia.
COMMENTS
The idiot minister of health is taking advantage of covid19 to dupe the pipo of zambia that the pandemic is a bush fire on the expenses of theft of public funds. Useles galu iwe!
TOO BAD
The teachers must be arrested and charged with criminal negligence.
Many people will die because their stupidity.
But why has watchdog published only half the story? Most of us on social media have seen 2 letters. One that has been published here, and another where these individuals are under self quarantine. Thats besides the fact that the Hon. Minister has asked for all schools to be closed.
@Jimmy Shaba, ati minister doing a commendable job? By lying to the nation on the number of affected people? The President just announced 12 confirmed cases this morning meaning suddenly within one day 9 news cases?
oh yes its possible people are always coming into Zambia via the airports but measures have been put into place to allow only KKIA to operate and strict screening will be undertaken.
THE MINISTER OF HEALTH IS DOING A COMMENDABLE JOB UNDER DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES AND ONLY HIS FIGURES MUST BE TRUSTED BECAUSE THEY ARE COLLABORATING WITH WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION COUNTRY REPRESENTATIVE.
SOCIAL MEDIA DATA FROM UNRELIABLE SOURCES IS NOTHING BUT RUBBISH.
The school has released a second memo and have stated the above 3 staff members have been in self isolation since saturday.
There is no need to panic at all.
These want to cause alarm in the country and this kind of behavior will not be entertained.What Dr Chilufya is giving us is the true position of the government as in regard to the corona virus. You are therefore advised to dismiss this social media report. Get the facts from the ministry of health.
