16 people tested positive for COVID-19, with the total reaching 942 yesterday (Friday).
The death toll rose to 13.
The Ministry of Health and Child Care in a daily COVID-19 update confirmed the death of a 63-year-old woman from Matabeleland North.
Recoveries have reached 320 as Zimbabwe now follows the latest protocols of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and counts as recovered those who showed symptoms once 13 days have passed from the first symptom and once 10 days have passed for those who did not show symptoms but still tested positive.
Of the confirmed 57 cases recorded in the last two days, 42 were people infected within Zimbabwe, with the rest being returnees in approved quarantine.
Of the cases that have been cleared by recovery or death, the death rate in Zimbabwe can be calculated as hovering around 3,9 percent.
South Africa remains the most affected African country with the latest figures showing 3 720 deaths, 238 339 confirmed cases, and 113 061 recoveries.
