Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>HARARE: The government on Tuesday lifted all measures that it had put in place to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic after the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the pandemic no longer a public health emergency of international concern.<\/p>\n

The decision was announced by Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa during a post-cabinet media briefing on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the World Health Organization released a statement indicating that COVID-19 no longer constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, the government has directed that the mandatory wearing of face masks be lifted, all border measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 be lifted with immediate effect and tourists should no longer be required to produce COVID-19 vaccination certificates at ports of entry or at tourist\u2019s resorts around the country,\u201d Mutsvangwa said.<\/p>\n

As of May 3, there have been 264,685 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Zimbabwe, with 5,686 deaths reported to the WHO.<\/p>\n

As of April 29, a total of 13,935,112 vaccine doses have been administered in the country, the WHO said.<\/p>\n
