Speaking during an interview with NewsDay senior reporter Miriam Mangwaya, Mangwiro said a rise in new infections and an increasingly complacent citizenry could trigger another hard lockdown. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- Asked if there is any possibility that the government could impose another level one lockdown, Mangwiro responded: > Yes, some European countries have already gone back to level one lockdown. The second wave of the disease is aggressive so people still need to continue exercising the precautionary measures. > Figures might continue to rise in the country if people continue in the relaxation mood. > … Our experience with the pandemic has proved that a strict lockdown, although with its own disadvantages, is very effective in controlling the disease. > What is most important is to save lives. If need be, the government has to impose another lockdown. > However, the government still continues to encourage citizens to exercise precautionary measures to keep the figures low. As of Sunday, 15 November 2020, Zimbabwe had recorded 8 829 coronavirus cases and 257 deaths. 43 new COVID-19 cases were recorded yesterday and all the cases were local transmissions. *More: NewsDay* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
