Highlights

 For the first time since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Malawi registered no single case of COVID-19 on 4 November 2020. As of 2 November, Malawi has 426 active cases under follow up all of which are being managed at home with emergency treatment units having been unoccupied for more than six weeks now.

 UNICEF and WHO are supporting the Ministry of Health in undertaking an intra action review of COVID-19. Outcomes of the review will guide implementation of the response in Malawi across all the nine pillars.

 An oxygen plant with oxygen generation capacity of 1.15 million litres of oxygen per day- the biggest in the country- has been installed at Kamuzu Central Hospital. UNICEF supported the transportation and installation of the plant. This will contribute to COVID-19 case management and continuity of access to essential services during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

 To support infection prevention and control enhancements at emergency treatment units and other public facilities, 42 government officers in Blantyre and Mwanza districts have undergone training in operation and maintenance of solar powered water supply systems. This will assist in proper management and functionality of recently installed solar powered water supply systems in ETUs and other public facilities, to ensure continued availability of clean water.
