Posted 4 hours ago

About two-thirds of the 31 cases of Covid-19 confirmed in Mozambique are linked to the project to exploit an underwater gas field led by the French group Total in the far north of the country, according to official figures released on Thursday.

"The number of cases of Covid-19 (in the country) has increased today from 29 to 31," said Mozambican Ministry of Health spokeswoman Rosa Marlene, adding that no deaths were at lament to this day. "The two new positive cases come from the transmission network" of the province of Cabo Delgado (north), she said. The Mozambican National Institute of Health said on Wednesday that 19 of the 29 confirmed cases of contamination had their origin on the Total site.

The French oil group's project has been temporarily put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic. Only essential activities such as site security are ensured. In a statement Thursday, Total said it had "put in place a continuity plan to minimize as much as possible the impact on the project of an event of this nature". "It is difficult to predict the evolution of the situation, but to date the timetable has been respected," added the group. Total's $ 25 billion megaproject is the first onshore development of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in Mozambique.

It is located in the province of Cabo Delgado, plagued since 2017 by an Islamist insurgency, which has left at least 900 dead, according to a count by the NGO Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (Acled), and caused the displacement of more than 150,000 people, according to authorities.
