Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Midlands Province received a batch of 15 000 COVID-19 vaccine doses after Gweru, the provincial capital, was declared a hotspot by the Health and the Child Care Ministry last Thursday.<\/p>\n

Besides Gweru, Kwekwe, Gokwe North and Mberengwa are the other districts in Midlands that have also experienced a surge in coronavirus infections in the past few weeks.<\/p>\n

Acting Midlands Provincial Director Reginald Mhene told a Midlands provincial COVID-19 task force meeting that they intend to decentralise the vaccination programme to all clinics. He said:<\/p>\n

Going forward, our visibility should be felt in all communities. We are going to concentrate on the hotspots so that we curtail the spread of this pandemic.<\/p>\n

We want all our clinics to have the vaccines so we decongest main centres. We have noted that the situation on the ground now requires us to up our game.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the same meeting, Midlands Provincial Affairs Minister Senator Larry Mavima said:<\/p>\n

We need to have everybody vaccinated as soon as possible. We are also looking at making sure there is enforcement of measures announced by Government on new lockdown rules.<\/p>\n

We need to be strict. We are beginning to see changes on our roads particularly following the ban on inter-city travel.<\/p>\n

More than 72 000 people in Midlands have already received their first dose in the province, while 55 000 have received their second shots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
