Mozambique’s Minister of Health Armindo Tiago has announced in a statement today that he has recovered from an asymptomatic bout of Covid-19 and will be returning to work.

“I never had symptoms, and on October 25 my test came back negative,” he said, after having announced 14 days ago, October 13, that he was self-isolating after a positive test.

“Far from being a punishment, isolation was a school. I learned to give more value to the work of each member of society,” he adds in the note, which calls for universal compliance with the pandemic prevention measures.

Mozambique has recorded an accumulated total of 11,986 cases of Covid-19, with 86 deaths and 9,253 recoveries.

The Covid-19 pandemic has already claimed more than 1.1 million lives among the almost 42.7 infections worldwide, according to a report by the French AFP news agency.
