“This may suggest that despite the small numbers tested, our country might have a reduced COVID-19 trajectory,”

“Zimbabwe will, therefore, continue on … lockdown for an indefinite period. We shall have two-week interval reviews to assess progress or lack of it.”

Meanwhile, as at the time of filing this report, Ekohotblog understands that Zimbabwe has forty-four (44) confirmed cases, seventeen (17) recovered and four (4) death.
