In the last 24 hours, Zambia conducted 123 tests and recorded two (02) more COVID-19 cases. Kafue has so far recorded three cases, among them is the daughter of the adult male from Kafue who died from Coronavirus. This makes Kafue a hotspot for COVID-19.
In this regard, efforts are being intensified to trace contacts of all positive cases. I wish to advise all residents of Kafue and members of the public to corporate with health officials and security wings as they work hard to defeat Zambia's newest enemy.
I also have reports that some members of the public are defying public health regulations by "socialising" in carparks and other such places. We must bear in mind that COVID-19 is deadly and no one will be allowed to endanger lives of other people or indeed his or her own life. This level of irresponsibility will not be tolerated by authorities on the ground.
I am therefore calling on all members of the public to take personal responsibility by adhering to the measures I announced in my address to the nation.
