PRESIDENT Mnangagwa yesterday assured medical workers in
the frontline that the Government will speed up the provision of adequate
personal protective equipment (PPEs) and clothing as well as offer them
training to ensure their safety in the wake of Covid-19.
In his Easter message last night, the President said
Government will continue to scale up and improve the country’s health system in
terms of preparedness to handle the Covid-19 threat and consolidating the gains
made in keeping Zimbabwe safe from the global pandemic.
“We shall be moving with greater speed to provide the
workers in the frontline with all the adequate PPEs and personal protective
clothing as well as the requisite training to ensure safety in the wake of the
Covid-19 threat,” said President Mnangagwa.
He commended various stakeholders from across the social
spectrums who are giving generously towards the fight against Covid-19.
“Together we are stronger. Going forward, these bonds and
partnerships that are being created among our society must be nurtured and
strengthened. We need each other and the answer to this crisis lies in our
discipline and unity,” said the President.
He also reiterated his call for Zimbabweans to continue
observing lockdown regulations by staying at home and practising good hygiene
and observing social distancing to curb the spread of the deadly virus.
President Mnangagwa said security arms will continue to
intensify their patrols to ensure compliance and curb the unnecessary movement
of both pedestrians and vehicles.
He paid tribute to men and women constituting the essential
services and keeping the country functional during the lockdown period.
The President urged the nation to trust in God in light of
the Covid-19 pandemic.
“May Easter also remind us that the seemingly irresolvable
human problems are not eternal. There is hope and this situation will not last
forever, it will come to pass. Things will go back to normal, but in the
meantime, we must be patient and responsible,” said President Mnangagwa.
The President wished the nation a happy Easter holiday.
“On behalf of the Government of Zimbabwe and on my own
behalf, I would like to wish all Zimbabweans at home and abroad a joyous Easter
filled with blessings, peace, love and hope of a brighter future,” he said.
“As we go through this year’s Easter holiday may we find
hope and strength in the words of Jesus Christ in John 16 verse 33, who reminds
us that in the world we shall have many tribulations and urges us to have
peace, and be of good cheer, for he has overcome the world.
“In the midst of the darkness, may the light of Jesus
Christ shine! I once again wish you all a peaceful, blessed, safe and happy
Easter holiday. God bless you all, God bless Zimbabwe.” Herald
