In a letter addressed to the president of the Zimbabwe Nurses Association (ZINA) Enock Dongo, Health Services Board (HSB) executive director Ruth Kaseke, said: > Please be advised that Treasury has extended the payment of Covid-19 allowance equivalent to US$75 until further review which will be guided by the status of the pandemic and financial affordability. Public sector health workers are also getting an additional $3 700 risk allowance while teachers are getting an additional 10 per cent risk allowance. In a related development, the Public Service Commission (PSC) announced that contract workers and aides of the visually impaired will be paid RTGS dollars equivalent to US$75. Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister Paul Mavima on Tuesday confirmed the extension of the COVID-19 allowance for civil servants until further notice. He said: > We said right at the beginning that as an employer we felt the need to pay our employees such an allowance to cushion them against the hardships brought about by Covid-19. > Such an amount that we have been giving them as an employer has become a very considerable chunk on their salaries and they were benefiting a lot. > That is why the Government has decided to extend this allowance from this month henceforth. *More: Chronicle* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
