> The Confederation of Zimbabwe Retailers (CZR) applauds President Mnangagwa for announcing level 4 COVID-19 restrictions in order to curb a surge in new cases and deaths.

> CZR urges business and the general public to strictly adhere to the measures. Let us all remain vigilant and save lives and livelihoods.

> President Mnangagwa is on record saying it is better to save lives as the economy will be resuscitated in future.

> The country is in a state of war against the invisible enemy, the COVID-19 pandemic and it is our collective responsibility to stop the spread of this respiratory disease. Together we can defeat COVID-19.

President Mnangagwa Tuesday announced a strict level four lockdown in which business hours have been reduced to between 8 am and 3.30 pm and the curfew hours extended to run from 6.30 pm to 6 am.

The restrictions, which took effect on Tuesday, will be in place for two weeks pending a review of the situation.

Mutashu recently issued a statement imploring Government to implement a national lockdown saying they had noticed a general surge of COVID-19 cases in most parts of the country.

He was, however, berated by the Tourism Business Council of Zimbabwe (TBCZ), which said a national lockdown would affect tourism recovery.
