Zimbabwe has extended its COVID-19 lockdown by two weeks following the recent surge in coronavirus cases in the country.
In an address to the nation broadcast by the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation and monitored from Washington, Acting President Constantino Chiwenga, who is also the Minister of Health, said the extension of the lockdown is expected to contain the spread of the deadly disease that has killed 1,103 people in the country.
Chiwenga said the lockdown is expected to end on February 15 amid concerns of the spreading of new COVID-19 strains and variants.
He said the president fully understands that livelihoods are being disrupted by the lockdown but “we must not lose the momentum” of stopping the spread of the disease.
