Govt admonish attacks on health workers
Government has rebuked the attacks on health workers on false accusations regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, calling such acts criminal and regressive perpetuated by fake news and false conspiracy theories.
Speaking during the COVID-19 Daily Briefs on Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) on Wednesday, Minister of Civic Education and National Unity, Timothy Mtambo urged Malawians to follow the COVID-19 messages from government and health officials to avoid being moved by fake news.
“The tendency of attacking health workers is evil and criminal and this should stop. These people are there to help us. We need to listen to, and trust the messages that government is sending through various platforms and ignore the fake news,” Mtambo said.
