THREE people were arrested by the police in Bulawayo recently after they issued fake Covid-19 certificates to media personnel who wanted to cover a football match at Barbourfields Stadium last Saturday.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul
Nyathi confirmed the arrests and warned everyone against the forging of fake
Covid-19 certificates.
“The police warns members of the public that are involved
