Malawi has battled two waves of the ongoing COVID-19 global outbreak since the first cases were reported in April 2020. It is currently in the middle of battling a third wave. In fulfilling its mandate of protecting lives of vulnerable citizens during epidemics and reducing their exposure to risk and impact through preparedness and response, and case management, the Government of Malawi has led in the development and implementation of two National Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Preparedness and Response Plans, the last of which lapsed at the end of December 2020.
