Southern Eye has reported that seventy-six prisoners and 25 correctional officers at Grey Prisons in Bulawayo have reportedly tested positive for coronavirus.

The tragedy was confirmed by Bulawayo Provincial Affairs minister Judith Ncube who told Southern Eye that she had verified with Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) officials. She said:
> I have just verified with them, they are also at loss.

> I will be having a meeting with relevant offices tomorrow (today).

Ncube however, could not be drawn into revealing the number of cases recorded while ZPCS spokesperson Superintendent Meya Khanyezi who said she was still gathering the statistics and would call back before the end of the day had not done so when the publication published the story.

This happens when ZPCS has revealed that the number of prisoners in the country has since surpassed the number that was there before president Mnangagwa pardoned thousands in March.
