Some Zimbabweans have reacted with shock following the announcement that the country would be placed under a full lockdown in an effort to curb a surge in COVID-19 infections. Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, who is also health minister, announced the lockdown banning gatherings and ordering non-essential businesses to be closed for a month on Saturday.
Chiwenga said some of the tighter restrictions were effective immediately and included a 6PM to 6AM curfew and a ban on inter-city travel.
