Bulawayo and Matebeleland North recorded two and one respectively.

Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Mr Nick Mangwana confirmed the cases on his twitter handle.

“As we ramp-up our testing, the number of #Covid19Zim positive cases keeps creeping up. Out of 547 tests, we have now recorded 14 positive cases and 3 deaths. As curves elsewhere are flattening, we are not out of the woods. #SocialDistancing has helped flatten the curve elsewhere,” said Mr Mangwana.
