Malawi police have dismissed as fake news social media reports that some Indian national in Limbe have been attacked following President Peter Mutharika announcing one of the three coronavirus patients is a 63-year-old who had recently travelled to India.
Police have condemned the spread of such fake news to incite violence and hatred towards Indians.
Political leaders from governing party and the opposition have since been urges to condemne such inciting and rise to the occasion to call for support from all people to fight the deadly virus.
The outbreak of Coronavirus and its subsequent dissemination across the globe has left a shock wave of disbelief and confusion in many countries.

Malawians are God fearing people and cannot blame anyone for this infection.
This disease do not respect any borders nor does it protect anyone , be it any race , religion or nationality.

True, but there is something to be said about someone who comes back from a high-transmission country, goes into isolation, yet fails to understand that they will have to do without their staff for that whole period. Are they too posh to clean their own bathroom?
Indeed this is murderous behaviour and its foolishness to try to make it look normal. This is a racial offence and plain murder
What’s so racial about it bird brain
