In Mozambique, a case of wild polio has been found in the Tete province. This is the first case since 1992 and the genetic sequencing of it seems to be similar to a strain Malawi found this year. The continent of Africa was declared free of wild polio in 2020.  (The Guardian Weekly 27th of May 2022).
