The Mozambican health authorities on Thursday reported a further 15 new cases of the Covid-19 respiratory disease, and five recoveries. According to a Thursday press release from the Ministry of Health, all the new cases are Mozambican citizens. 10 are men and five are women and they are between five and 69 years old. Four of the new cases are from Cabo Delgado, with three each from Tete, Zambezia and Maputo city, one from Sofala and one from Maputo province. No cases were reported from the other five provinces. Since the start of the pandemic, 1,383,970 people have been tested in Mozambique for the coronavirus that causes Covid-19, 611 of them in the previous 24 hours. 596 of these tests yielded negative results, and the 15 who tested positive raised the total number of positive cases diagnosed in Mozambique to 230,095. The positivity rate (the percentage of those tested found to be carrying the coronavirus) rose from 1.02 per cent on Wednesday to 2.45 per cent on Thursday. One Covid-19 patient was discharged from hospital, in Niassa, on Thursday, and no new cases were admitted. The number of patients undergoing medical care in the Covid-19 wards fell from 11 on Wednesday to ten on Thursday. Only one of these patients is still in intensive care, receiving supplementary oxygen. Four of the hospitalised patients are in Maputo city, three in Niassa, and one each in Zambezia, Manica and Gaza. The Ministry reported no deaths from Covid-19 on Wednesday or Thursday, and so the death toll in Mozambique from the disease remains 2,220. The five recoveries reported were all from Gaza. The total number of recoveries now stands at 227,727, which is 98.97 per cent of all Covid-19 cases ever diagnosed in Mozambique. The number of active cases of Covid-19 rose from 134 on Wednesday to 144 on Thursday. The geographical breakdown of the active cases was as follows: Niassa, 32; Zambezia, 24; Tete, 22; Maputo city, 21; Sofala, 20; Cabo Delgado, nine; Nampula, six; Manica, four; Gaza, three; Inhambane, two; and Maputo province, one. The Ministry press release also reported that a further 1,564 people were vaccinated against Covid-19 on Thursday. The total number fully vaccinated against the disease now stands at 14,685,487, which is 96.6 per cent of all citizens aged 18 and above.
