Zimbabwe s finance minister says the country has spent around 13% of the country s collected revenues fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
This was spent on risk allowances for frontline workers and upgrading health facilities, as well as drugs and PPE.
The money also went to lockdown enforcement.
Zimbabwe spent approximately 13% of 2020 s total collected revenues in its fight against the coronavirus pandemic, a senior government official has said.
Like every other country, Zimbabwe has been battling against the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has claimed lives of 3.6% of 33 388 confirmed cases as at 31 January.
The situation has been made worse by the poor state of the country s public health facilities, where frontline health workers have consistently complained about inadequate remuneration and lack of personal protective equipment.
