HARARE, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) Many Zimbabweans would want to forget the year 2020 in a hurry after they either lost their loved ones to COVID-19 while others lost their sources of income as some companies closed down due to the effects of the pandemic.
The country also slid further into economic distress as the productive sector temporarily went into comatose and is yet to recover.
About 150,000 formal jobs were lost during the year as a direct result of COVID-19, which has infected 12,422 people and resulted in 322 deaths as of Dec. 21.
