Munyaradzi Madziwa has written the following piece detailing how quarantine centres are driving the COVID-19 pandemic in Zimbabwe as the country recorded 14 new cases yesterday bringing the total number of positive cases to 174.
Madziwa opined:
The same measures being enforced amongst the general populace such as protective masks, sanitising and social distancing should apply to the returnees. Further than that returnees must be monitored daily for clinical signs and symptoms which might signal Covid-19 infection.
My experience has shown a totally different, but scary reality. And it is most likely that Zimbabwe’s Covid 19 epidemic is most likely going to be driven by her poorly managed Covid “Concentration” Centres.
I arrived in the country via Victoria Falls and was immediately placed into quarantine (I must state “voluntarily” as I could have easily skipped it).
