Covid-19 Measures Being Neglected In Mwansambombwe

Officials in Mwansabombwe are concerned that the majority of people in the district are not complying with measures designed to prevent the spread of Covid-19. 

Speaking during a district development coordinating committee meeting, education board secretary Mary Kanyimbo noted with concern that people are no longer wearing masks, washing their hands or observing social distancing from one another. 

She added that churches are now fully operational, with large numbers of congregants simply ignoring the preventative measures.

Even some government workers, who are supposed to be leading by example, are failing to comply with the health guidelines, Dr Kanyimbo said.

“Commissioner you can see for yourself even in this meeting of HOD’s, no one is masking up. Health tell us if the disease is over so that I can also stop masking up,” she said.

Dr Kanyimbo went on to advise citizens that the pandemic is real and that there has been no directive to stop following the preventative measures.  

 She called on all stakeholders to work together with the health department in fighting the pandemic.
