A TOP government official says Covid-19 is almost overwhelming the Zimbabwean health system amid deaths of local people, including prominent citizens countrywide.
In a tweet on Friday, Information Secretary Nick Mangwana said, “We hear UK beds are overwhelmed by Covid19. Well, that’s them. They say in SA, hospital admission thresholds are now quite high- that’s them. But, let me tell you about our own situation, don’t catch the virus if you can avoid it. We are being overwhelmed and overrun by this virus.”
Mangwana made these remarks at a time the Ministry of Health reported that the country registered 217 new cases on Thursday and six deaths. Some of the people who died were prominent independent political commentator Bekezela Maduma Fuzwayo, Zanu PF’s UK district chairperson Tawengwa Masimba, a distinguished minister of religion and several others.
