Over 1,000 cases have been recorded since Friday.<\/p>\n

The large majority of these were found in the capital, Maputo, putting it at the centre of what looks like a fourth wave of infections in the country.<\/p>\n

Mozambique neighbours South Africa which has seen a large increase in infections attributed to the Omicron variant.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mozambique\u2019s health ministry is relying on a mass vaccination campaign to help tackle the growing problem.<\/p>\n

It has launched a programme of mobile vaccination units to try and cover as many people as possible.<\/p>\n

Just over 1,900 people are recorded to have died from coronavirus in Mozambique since the outbreak began last year.<\/p>\n
