Mozambique yesterday reported 110 more positive cases of Covid-19, bringing the total to 12,525 infections, still with 91 deaths, according to the Ministry of Health daily brief.

“Of the new cases reported today, 107 cases are individuals of Mozambican nationality and three cases are foreigners. Of these, one is an individual of Portuguese nationality and two are Chinese,” the update released on Thursday reads.

Of the total number of infections that the country has already registered, 12,221 cases are accounted “of local transmission” and 304 cases “imported”.

The Ministry of Health says 10,001 people (79% of cases) have fully recovered, with 91 deaths and 452 people registered as hospitalised.

The Mozambican capital, Maputo, continues to record the highest number of active cases in the country, with 1,860 infected, followed by Maputo province with 238, and the remaining nine Mozambican provinces having less than 100 cases between them.

Since the announcement of the first case on March 22, Mozambique has tracked just over 2.7 million people and tested a total of 185,273 people.

The Covid-19 pandemic has already claimed more than 1.1 million lives among the more than 44.5 million cases of infection worldwide, according to a report by the French AFP press agency.

In Africa, there have been 42,151 confirmed deaths among the more than 1.7 million people infected in 55 countries.

Covid-19 is transmitted by a new coronavirus detected in late December 2019 in Wuhan, a city in central China.
