At least 440 cases of malaria have been reported in Limpopo, provincial health department spokesman Cecil Motsepe said on Wednesday.

?During the last two weeks, an increase in the notification of malaria cases was observed in Limpopo.

?This increase is mostly confined to the known malaria high-risk areas; the north-eastern parts of Vhembe district and eastern Mopani.?

Three people died from malaria in the Musina, Donald Fraser and Malamulele hospitals last week...
