Coronavirus News (May 2020)
News has arrived of Malawi’s first Covid-19 cases, in the Lilongwe and Blantyre areas. Reports have suggested that in Malawi only 20 people a day can be tested for the virus and there are just 25 intensive care unit beds and seven ventilators in the country of more than 18 million people.

SaltMalawi has been active in helping the churches by distributing water buckets and soap to enable the locals to have hand washing facilities for every one of 51 CDJ village churches. After the famine most rural families do not have enough money to prioritise buying soap for themselves. It may not be enough but at least when the church meets together the leaders are providing the opportunity for everyone to wash their hands with soap as well as practising social distancing. It goes without saying that the church leaders are looking to God for protection.
