Government closes campuses amid COVID’s second wave
Malawi universities and colleges have been closed for three weeks, following a second wave of COVID-19 that has taken a heavy toll, with daily reports of increasing infections and deaths.
This includes two cabinet ministers who died earlier this month – Transport and Public Works Minister Sidik Mia and Local Government Minister Lingson Belekanyama.
The pandemic has also been ripping through universities and colleges that were reopened in September after being closed under a national lockdown since COVID-19 hit the country last March.
Mzuzu University, in northern Malawi, is one institution that has taken a major hit, with two forest faculty teachers dying from the disease, senior lecturer Dominic Gondwe and Professor Chimuleke Munthali.
