The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) has temporarily closed its Bulawayo offices after a member of staff tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus.

In a statement on Saturday, ZIMRA said the employee was one of three employees who had been quarantined after serving an infected client in April. The statement reads:

_A Revenue Officer who was based at (the) Bulawayo Port offices served an infected client on 18 March 2020 together with two other officers._

_Having received the information that the client had tested positive for COVID-19, the three officers then proceeded to self- quarantine from 27 March to 26 April 2020 in line with World Health Organisation guidelines._

_Upon returning to work on 27 April 2020, the three Officers were tested by the Ministry of Health and Child Care._

_The test results came out on 29 April 2020 and unfortunately one of the results came out positive with the other two being negative._

_… All the tested staff members and individuals have since been put under mandatory self-isolation for at least 14 days._

_As an extra precaution, the Authority has closed its Bulawayo Offices with effect from 01 May 2020 to allow for comprehensive disinfection._

_The Offices will be opened as soon as the MHCC certifies the re-opening._
