The number of active cases in Mozambique of the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19 has fallen below 100, something that has not happened since November, before the fourth wave of the pandemic, according to data from the Ministry of Health consulted by Lusa.
The number of active cases officially recorded in daily information bulletins this week fell from 2,123 on Monday, to 534 on Tuesday, 174 on Wednesday and 98 on Thursday.
The drop follows the reduction in other epidemiological indicators since the peak of the fourth wave in Mozambique, which occurred in early January.
The drop in mortality is one of the most visible signs. Since Monday, the country has recorded two deaths.
According to the authorities, close to 80% of the target population has been vaccinated, contributing to the retreat of Covid-19.
In cumulative terms, Mozambique has since the start of the pandemic two years ago recorded 2,198 deaths associated with Covid-19 and 225,162 cases of the coronavirus. Of these, 98% are deemed recovered, with 15 patients currently in hospital with the disease.
