The Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries , an umbrella body representing the private sector, this week released a report on companies and their attitude towards the vaccination programme. According to the report, 76% of companies in the manufacturing sector are willing to vaccinate workers and their families, but 24% are only willing to cover workers and their spouses.
But Mnangagwa said those companies willing to take that route should be prepared to offer vaccines for free for their workers. Zimbabwe’s manufacturing sector employs between 80,000 and 100,000 people and contributes 9% to 11% of exports and 12% to 14% of the country’s GDP. Mnangagwa said the decision to relax the lockdown was because “the number of Covid-19 cases, fatalities and hospitalisation continue to steadily decrease”.On Sunday, there were 30 new cases and no deaths reported. In total, 18,843 front-line workers had been vaccinated.
Zimbabwe last week received a donation of 200,000 doses of the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine, and 400,000 more doses are expected next week — half of those another donation. Zimbabwe will then buy 1.8 million doses from China.Below are the key highlights of the relaxed measures:intercity travel allowedsocial gatherings limited to 50 people and funerals limited to 30 peopleTimesLIVE
