Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican health authorities on Saturday announced five new cases of the Covid-19 respiratory disease, compared with just one case on Friday.<\/p>\n

According to a press release from the Ministry of Health, since the start of the pandemic, 1,288,759 people have been tested for the coronavirus that causes Covid-19, 837 of them in the previous 24 hours.<\/p>\n

832 of the tests yielded negative results, while the five positive cases brought the total number of people diagnosed with Covid-19 in the country to 225,206.<\/p>\n

The positivity rate (the percentage of those tested found to be carrying the virus) rose from 0.11 per cent on Friday to 0.6 per cent on Saturday.<\/p>\n
