According to a Ministry of Health Sunday press release, since the start of the pandemic, 909,977 people have been tested for the coronavirus that causes Covid-19, 1.056 of them in the previous 24 hours.
1,042 of the tests yielded negative results, while 14 people tested positive for the virus. This brings the number of Covid-19 cases diagnosed in Mozambique to 150,804. Of the new cases identified on Sunday, eight were men and six were women.
Five cases were reported from Maputo city, three from Nampula, three from Niassa, and one each from Cabo Delgado, Zambezia and Inhambane. There were no positive cases reported from any of the other five provinces.
For the second consecutive day, no deaths from Covid-19 were reported. The Covid-19 death toll in Mozambique thus remains 1.918.
The positivity rate (the percentage of people tested found to be carrying the virus) on Sunday was 1.3 per cent, a decline from the 2.2 per cent found on Saturday and on Friday. The positivity rate in the previous few days was 3.5 per cent on Thursday, 4.1 per cent on Wednesday, 2.4 per cent on Tuesday and 2.1 per cent on Monday.
