As of now, movement within Mozambique is restricted, no foreigners are allowed to enter the nation, and schools alongside higher education institutions are temporarily closed. Currently, the nation's Ministry of Health has confirmed a total of 76 cases of Covid-19 with no deaths. The virus first entered the nation on March 22nd, 2020, and 12 people have since recovered.
