The Easter holiday starts with Good Friday on April 2 until Easter Monday on April 5.<\/p>\n

The Easter holidays are celebrated widely in Christendom with mass gatherings, and health experts are concerned there could be an explosion of coronavirus cases immediately after the holidays.<\/p>\n

Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister, Monica Mutsvangwa on Thursday told Senators that Cabinet was aware of the risks of a rise in infections during the holidays. She said:<\/p>\n

All the security agents would be out in full force to ensure there is compliance with regulations because we have noticed that compliance is becoming a problem following the easing of some of the restrictions.<\/p>\n

Mutsvangwa also said church gatherings should not be more than 50 as required by the regulations.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s borders have not yet been re-opened, and only returning residents would be allowed to enter the country, Mutsvangwa added.<\/p>\n

She said the government has put in place mechanisms to ensure people do not use fake COVID-19 test certificates to travel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
