| COVID-19: Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa Extends Lockdown |
Making the announcement on television, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said: “It has been a hard decision.”
He said the main objectives of the extension are to flatten the curve and to increase testing and Covid-19 recoveries to lessen the burden on the health sector.
“The country is yet to meet the conditions for the lifting of the lockdown which is when the transmission of the virus is fairly under control.
Guided by these realities, government has decided to extend, with immediate effect, a national lockdown by a further 14 days, up to May 3, 2020,” Mnangagwa said.
