PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has urged citizens to use home-based care solutions as such steaming which is locally known as ‘Ukufutikila’.
He said steaming has been recommended to be part of the remedies for COVID-19 by health experts.
President Lungu said home-based care solutions such as ‘steaming’, using eucalyptus leaves, consuming vitamin C, ginger, garlic, honey and cinammon concoctions are some of the tested remedies that health experts are recommending.
“All of us are either affected, infected or even re-infected,” he said.
Meanwhile, the President expects the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Higher Education to ensure schools, colleges, and universities adhere strictly to public health regulations, guidelines, and certification when they open.
In a statement issued, President Lungu said all relevant authorities, including parents and guardians must contribute to the protection of pupils and students.
He has also urged frontline workers, in charge of testing, to ensure they make available contacts that people can use to call them when they feel unwell.
“l am aware that sometimes the results are made available when some people have already recovered but may have infected other people. Therefore, we need to expedite the availing of results to our citizens,” the President said.
President Lungu has, however, commended all Frontline workers for their courage and resilience when looking after COVID- 19 patients.
“These are men and women of the Year 2020 because without them thousands of lives would have been lost,” he said.
The Head of State said
mourns with all bereaved families and wishes all citizens God’s protection and blessings.
Meanwhile, Minister of Health, Jonas Chanda says he will have a
consultative meeting with his counterparts in other line ministries to review progress on the implementation of the presidential directives and review the interventions and actions in the midst of the increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases.
He said the meeting will also address matters such as opening of schools, public sensitisation, and enforcement of public health measures among members of the community and public places.

BISHOP of Monze, Moses Hamungole has been put to rest at Monze’s Diocese of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ today.
The Bishop died on the 13th of January at Levy Mwanawasa hospital after succumbing to COVID-19.
Byta FMs Brian Hantuba reports from Monze that speaking at the burial, Southern Province Permanent Secretary Liomba Mwangala said the death of the Bishop is a loss for the region as a family.
He highlighted that the late Bishop was a man who preached nothing but peace and development without being political.
Mwangala encouraged other members of the clergy to emulate the conduct of the faith leader.
Parish Chairperson Teddy Michelo bemoaned the loss of the Bishop, saying the church is lost without his leadership.
He added that the situation has worsened by the fact that the church has not mourned together as a family because of COVID-19 restrictions on gathering.
Parish Priest Deogratious Kaundula thanked Monze Mission and Levy Mwanawasa Hospitals for their efforts in treating the Bishop.
He quoted one of the Bishop’s last sermons that encourages Christians to call on God during challenging times.
