The former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak has been found guilty of abuse of power, in a case linked to a multibillion dollar corruption scandal at a state investment fund. The whole world is waiting for a coronavirus vaccine and there are many trials taking place in different countries. However, most medical products that go into trials are not successful and only 10% get approval. So, what does that mean for the Covid-19 vaccine? Schools in Zimbabwe were meant to be reopening today. However, this has been delayed after teaching unions protested that appropriate measures to stop the spread of Covid-19 must be in place first.
