Coronavirus Lockdown Restrictions Tightened

Secretary for Information Nick Mangwana has announced that ordinary Zimbabweans will not be allowed to enter the Central Business Districts with immediate effect.

Mangwana said in an effort to mitigate the spread of the deadly Coronavirus, only essential workers will be allowed to access the CBD.

“Yesterday, 133 positive cases were regisrered. There are some cases of deaths which are awaiting test results on whether Covid19 was the cause. Security is being tightened to ensure only essential services can be allowed through to CBDs. We apologise for any inconveniences.” Mangwana said.
