Covid routs health centres
MASERU-AT least 20 workers at church-run health centres in Lesotho tested positive for Covid-19 between Christmas and New Year’s Day, as the pandemic begins to wreak havoc in the country.
The clinics and hospitals are run by the Christian Health Association of Lesotho (CHAL).
The affected health centres are Scott Hospital in Morija, Tebellong Hospital in Qacha’s nek, Motsekuoa health centre in Mafeteng and Emmaus health centre also in Mafeteng.
The infections have forced the health centres to scale down operations and are now offering emergency services only in an attempt to protect both staff and clients, said CHAL acting director, Libete Selapane.
