Health Minister Dr Douglas Mombeshora told The Herald :“There
are no Covid-19 cases here in Zimbabwe but there is the flu virus which is very
common during the winter season because of the cold weather. The Ministry has
been monitoring cases and we have not seen anyone positive Covid-19 for over a
month now.
“Two weeks ago, there was a pilgrimage, and individuals who
travelled back from that region have now finished the Covid-19 incubation
period, with not a single positive case recorded.”
The World Health Organisation issued a warning that there
was a fresh wave of the Covid-19 virus in some countries with pilgrims who had
returned from Hajj, the Muslim pilgrimage, in Mecca in Saudi Arabia and all
countries should increase surveillance by screening at ports of entry while
putting those returning from the pilgrimage in isolation.
