Zimbabwe entered a hard lockdown this week and it’s second wave of infections is beginning to peak.
The country has more than 17 000 cumulative cases and the death toll is standing above 480.
Magwiro says the coronavirus caseload keeps on increasing rapidly.
“There’s no area that’s called the hotspot its now the whole country. That is why we are at level four of transmission. If [it was a] cluster of just hundred people, we would [be] on level one. Most of our COVID-19 centres have enough beds people should not rely on social media or hearsay,” explains Mangwiro.
