Should we be worried about the polio case in Malawi?
Last week, Malawi recorded a case of wild polio, an infectious disease that can lead to paralysis, most often in children.\nIt\u2019s the first time that a case has been reported in the country since 1992.\nAnd in 2020, the whole of Africa was declared polio free after a decades long vaccination programme. \nThe case in Malawi is thought to be linked to a strain still in circulation in Pakistan. \nIt is yet to be determined how the disease arrived in Malawi.\nAnd people are anxious as to whether more cases will emerge.\nWhat can be done to stop it spreading?\n \n#AfricaDaily
