Zupco is spacing out passengers in its buses increasing
social distancing, while the mandatory temperature testing, sanitisation,
wearing of masks by passengers and disinfection of buses after every trip will
continue.
Last night, Zupco acting chief executive Mr Evaristo
Madangwa said the Ministry of Health and Child Care screened staff at the
Willowvale depot on Wednesday and nine of the company employees were found
positive.
It was not clear if these were rapid screening tests or the
diagnostic PCR tests. “We shall continue to spray, disinfect each bus and
omnibus daily,” said Mr Madangwa.
“Zupco shall continue to ensure temperature checks, hand
sanitisation and wearing of face masks by both passengers and crews.
“Efforts are underway to ensure continuity of service by
Zupco. As we fight this pandemic we once again encourage our passengers,
stakeholders and the nation at large to take all necessary precautions to curb
the spread of Covid-19.”
Meanwhile, in a statement the Zimbabwe Schools Examination
Council (Zimsec) advised of the temporary closure of its Head Office and Harare
Region Office from yesterday to August 3 to allow for disinfection after 11 of
its workers tested positive.
“This closure is to facilitate thorough disinfection of our
offices as a precautionary measure to mitigate the spread of Covid-19,” said
Zimsec in a statement. Herald
