THE Covid-19 death toll among United Kingdom based Zimbabwean frontline health and care workers continues to increase with yet another social services expatriate Herbert Chinzou succumbing to the dreaded ailment.<\/p>\n
Chinzou was a manager in social services in London.<\/p>\n
While details of his unfortunate death remain sketchy, Chinzou has reportedly been in and out of hospital after he was diagnosed with coronavirus weeks before.<\/p>\n
He was later admitted in hospital 12 April but later lost the battle with the global disease this Sunday.<\/p>\n
Chinzou is among dozens of Zimbabwean professionals employed in the British health and social care sector who have died of Covid-19 in the line of duty.<\/p>\n
The country\u2019s embassy to Britain last week approximated the number of Zimbabweans who have died of the disease at 29.<\/p>\n
The majority of the deaths, according to the embassy, are those of the country\u2019s health expatriates who left after the turn of the century for greener pastures abroad.<\/p>\n
Below is a message shared on social media by the Ladies of UK and some images of the late Chinzou taken with wife and kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
