The VID will also thoroughly check drivers\u2019 documents for authenticity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The aspect of people boarding kombis without sliding glass windows was alluded to as a suicidal attempt in retrospect to the Covid-19 pandemic and people were urged to maintain social distancing and continue to sanitise themselves on a regular basis to reduce infections.<\/p>\n<p>Kazembe urged people to celebrate the festive season responsibly to avoid unnecessary loss of lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the same note, as we enjoy our festive season, may we all remember that we are not yet out of the woods, but rather we are currently grappling with the second wave of Covid-19 virus. In the past few weeks, we have all witnessed an upsurge in the number of confirmed cases including loss of lives,\u201d Kazembe added.<\/p>\n<p>He also advised citizens to be security conscious and not to leave their properties unattended as criminals may take advantage of the festivities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
