Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The Prime Minister of Cabo Verde, Ulisses Correia e Silva, said on Wednesday that at least five members of the government have been infected with the coronavirus and that his office is “practically at a standstill” due to positive cases among staff.<\/p>\n

“My office is practically at a standstill at the moment. It is affecting security people and it is affecting health professionals, which is where the action is much more complicated,” he said.<\/p>\n

For the Prime Minister, the fewer doctors and nurses the country has available, the more difficult the health system’s response system will become, not only to deal with Covid-19-related issues but also to treat other diseases, namely in the emergency service.<\/p>\n

In the communication, Ulisses Correia e Silva announced the hiring of more nurses, and, like the President, called for a “closing of ranks” to fight the new coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The country has seen a spike in coronavirus cases, recording 1,025 positives on Tuesday alone, as the Omicron variant spreads on the archipelago. Cape Verde last week canceled new year festivities and introduced a raft of measures for restaurants and public transport to stem a rise in cases.<\/p>\n

The country is one of the most vaccinated on the continent, with up to 70% of the eligible population having received a second dose of the Covid vaccine.<\/p>\n

As of Tuesday, the total number of infections by the new coronavirus was 44,592, with 5,568 active cases, 38,643 cases considered recovered, and 354 deaths.<\/p>\n
