Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Zimbabwe recorded a slight increase in coronavirus cases in the past week, a Cabinet Minister has said.<\/p>\n

Addressing the media during the post-Cabinet briefing on Tuesday, Information, Publicity, and Broadcast Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said the country recorded a total of 211 new cases during the week compared to 203 recorded the previous week. She said:<\/p>\n

A total of 211 new cases including six deaths were recorded during the week, compared to 203 recorded the previous week.<\/p>\n

For the week under review, there were 28 new admissions compared to 30 recorded the previous week.<\/p>\n

Cabinet advises that the small spike in the number of new cases and deaths recorded during the week is of concern and calls for the country to remain vigilant.<\/p>\n

Mutsvangwa said the recovery rate is 98 percent with 467 active cases.<\/p>\n

On vaccination, she said 6 581 530 people received their first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine while 4 949 555 people were administered with second dose, and 1 274 040 received a third dose. Said Mutsvangwa:<\/p>\n

Members of the public who are not vaccinated are encouraged to take advantage of this blitz to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n

In light of the upcoming festive season, Cabinet resolved on the following strategies in order to ensure that the pandemic is kept under check; that provincial teams strengthen their vaccination programme to protect citizens from severe disease and from death.<\/p>\n

Communities and individuals should remain vigilant during this festive season and continue to protect themselves by getting fully vaccinated; washing hands with soap and running water; sanitising hands frequently; maintaining social distancing and avoiding crowded gatherings.<\/p>\n

Mutsvangwa also urged members of the public should continue to wear face masks properly in public transport vehicles and indoor gatherings.<\/p>\n
