Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Health and Child Care Deputy Minister, Dr. John Mangwiro Tuesday announced that 62 health workers tested positive for COVID-19 in Kwekwe.<\/p>\n

Dr. Mangwiro made the remarks while officially launching the Midlands vaccination programme in Kwekwe where he indicated that of the 62 workers, 42 have since recovered and 20 were still self-isolating and not well. He added:<\/p>\n

The vaccination programme is targeting frontline workers and I encourage all of you to take the vaccine to protect yourselves. Frontlines are the main target for the first phase as they are the ones exposed to the virus.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe acquired the Chinese-made Sinopharm vaccines which it is administering to frontline workers first since last week.<\/p>\n

Dr Mangwiro also toured a number of isolations centres in Kwekwe and Redcliff after which he expressed dismay over the non-availability of oxygen at most of the intensive care (ICU) units. He directed that \u201coxygen should be made available as soon as possible in all institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is happening when national coronavirus cases recorded per day have been dropping in the recent past.<\/p>\n
