The development was confirmed by the Deputy Minister in the Health ministry, John Mangwiro when he was quizzed over the matter in Parliament by Masvingo senator Tichinani Mavetera (MDC Alliance) on Thursday. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage $119 USD WhatsApp +263783450793 ---------- Mavetera alleged that many people were dying because of various diseases and conditions as they cannot be admitted if they do not have the reports. Mangwiro responded and said: > We have rapid testing kits and a few testing kits and centres, but we are improving on the figures. We encourage bunching and sampling to be done at the shortest possible time. We need to ensure that those with diabetes, hypertension, asthma are treated for COVID-19 because if they have COVID-19 they are in more danger. However, while they await COVID-19 results, we do not stop treating people. Community Working Group on Health executive director Itai Rusike said the move was unethical and unacceptable adding that it is not an official position of the Ministry of Health. Rusike added that it is the responsibility of the government to meet the cost of testing the potential clients visiting health facilities as a precautionary measure to protect the health caregivers.
