WhatsApp: 0️⃣7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ 7️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ ---------- The hospital’s medical superintendent, Collet Mawire told NewZimbabwe.com that the facility has a huge shortage of personal protective equipment (PPEs) – clothes worn by health workers to reduce chances of contracting the coronavirus. Said Mawire: > I can confirm that 64 of our health workers, including nurses and doctors, have tested positive for COVID-19. > … We are at high risk because there is a massive shortage of PPEs, therefore, adequate PPEs should be made available for all frontline health workers because COVID-19 has not spared us as nurses and doctors. Mawire said all the affected workers were self-isolating at their homes while those that needed hospitalisation would be the first patients to be admitted into the recently-commissioned COVID-19 isolation centre. Mashonaland West Minister for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Mary Mliswa-Chikoka officially commissioned the COVID-19 isolation centre at Chinhoyi provincial hospital on Friday. The centre has a Ward reserved for sick hospital staff where they would get treatment and the necessary palliative care. *More: NewZimbabwe.com* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
