“We are doing the genomic sequencing,” Vice-president Constantino Chiwenga, who is also the Southern African nation’s health minister, told a meeting of farmers on Thursday in the capital, Harare.Chiwenga did not provide further details on the origins of the case.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Wednesday gazetted rules imposing quarantine on all travellers entering the country, including returning residents. Hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans who work and live in neighbouring SA, which was first to disclose detection of the new variant on November 25, are expected to travel home over Christmas.
“We want everyone to be safe so let’s be vaccinated and then let’s follow the protocols,” Chiwenga said. “We don’t want to end up putting extra measures in place.”
Thousands are still here in SA, PLEASE RECALL THEM TO Zimbabwe soonest!!!
