Zimbabwe in the recent past recorded a surge in the number of COVID-19 admissions due to relaxed preventive measures.

During a post-Cabinet media briefing, Information and Publicity Minister, Monica Mutsvangwa, also stated that although there were reported COVID-19 cases in schools, they were not severe. Said the Senator:

> During the week under review, the number of people in need of hospitalisation for Covid-19 increased and the bed occupancy rate increased from 2% last week to 3,2% this week.

> A total of 81 new admissions were recorded during the week compared to 51 which occurred last week. No patient was admitted to the intensive care unit.

*Latest developments:*

> There has been huge complacency in Zimbabwe as the Southern African country has been recording no death cases in the recent past.

> With over four million people already vaccinated with at least one jab, some believe that the country has already achieved herd immunity.

> Authorities are, however, urging citizens to take the booster jab to increase the chances of fighting the virus.

*World Perspective:*

> On Monday, the World Health Organisation (WHO) urged countries not to declare victory over the coronavirus even though COVID-19 deaths had significantly dropped globally.

> WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said it was too early for countries to declare victory as some countries still had high hospitalisation rates, adding that people should not be complacent.

> Ghebreyesus said the threat of new and more dangerous variants remains very real due to transmissions.

> He added that people should continue to protect themselves.
