Ngumuya, a former parliamentarian, becomes the latest public figure in Malawi to go public about his Covid-19 status after Nkhata Bay North West MP Julius Mwase earlier this week. Both were active on the just ended fresh presidential election campaign which draw unprecedented crowds.

“Allan Ngumuya called and told me he has tested Covid-19 positive. He asked me to warn everybody about the reality of Covid-19,” said Gospel Kazako of Zodiak Media.
