THERE is panic at Zimbabwe’s Harare Polytechnic College after a staffer died of Covid-19.
Fourteen other positive cases were recorded among staff
members. Harare Polytechnic College Principle Engineer Tafadzwa Mudondo
confirmed the development saying one of the support staff members had succumbed
to the virus.
“We have 14 members of our staff who have tested positive
here after our regular testing. Unfortunately one of our support staff members
has succumbed to covid-19 today.
“We are engaged with the ministry on this and we are
continuing with testing measures,” he said.
Eng Mudondo said the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary
Education and Health authorities would determine the closure of the institution
after a surge in cases.
A tense atmosphere swamped Harare Polytechnic College as
the staffers at the institution were not at ease to welcome students and
visitors.
Thorough testing is being carried at the main entrance into
the campus following the recorded cases. H Metro
