The Mozambican government announced on the 18th local time that there was another polio epidemic in the country after a lapse of 30 years. Mozambique's Ministry of Health said on the same day that a case of polio had been confirmed in Tete Province in the northeast of the country. This is the country's first reported case of polio since 1992. According to reports, a child developed paralysis symptoms at the end of March this year. Genome sequencing showed that the strain was related to the strain prevalent in Pakistan in 2019. In February this year, Mozambique's neighboring Malawi also reported polio cases. At present, the two countries in southern Africa have reported cases with similar strains.
