Speaking at the virtually held first Political Actors Dialogue executive meeting at State House in Harare on Friday morning, President Mnangagwa said:<\/p>\n

In the coming week, I will be announcing how we are proceeding with regards to the lockdown.<\/p>\n

This will be informed by scientific data and recommendations from our health experts.<\/p>\n

He speaks when businesses and some members of the public have made it clear that they want the lockdown regulations relaxed to prevent the total collapse of the economy.<\/p>\n

Observers argue that the lockdown worsened the economic and humanitarian crisis the country was already facing before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

The current, stiff lockdown regulations were imposed at the backdrop of a surge in new coronavirus cases and deaths.<\/p>\n

The spike was attributed to complacency during the festive seasons.<\/p>\n
