The only cabinet member pictured wearing a mask on arrival was Attorney General Chikosa Silungwe.
Minister of Tourism Michael Usi ditched his ‘larger than face’ mask which he wore at the first cabinet meeting.
Surprisingly, Minister of Health Khumbize Kandodo Chiponda (in the first picture) and her deputy Chrissy Kalamula Kanyasho were some of the cabinet members flouting the Covid-19 prevention, containment and management rules.
Chiponda’s ministry on Sunday announced five new Coronavirus cases and advised people to reduce spread of the virus by wearing face masks.
According to the Ministry of Health, Malawi is still experiencing community transmissions hence it is important to regard everyone as a carrier of the virus and to follow Coronavirus prevention measures.
Malawi has recorded a total of 5,857 cases, 4,742 recoveries and 181 deaths.
