THE government has started to provide security and healthcare in evacuation centres in the seven districts of Manicaland, where scores of people are set to be relocated in the event that Cyclone Chalane hits the country on New Year’s eve as expected.
Manicaland provincial development co-ordinator and Civil Protection Unit chairperson Edgar Seenza said there were also fears of a COVID-19 outbreak if precautionary measures were not taken.
He told
NewsDay yesterday that the heavy rains that hit Chimanimani recently were a threat to the lives of many villagers who have already started moving from the district to safety.
