All persons coming into the country will no longer be required to do a Covid-19 PCR test as it was previously required so as to gain entry into the country.
The government through the Post Cabinet Briefing resolved that;
“…returning residents and visitors are no longer required to present a negative PCR certificate on arrival at ports of entry. Only a valid vaccination certificate showing that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with any one of the WHO-approved vaccines will suffice.
This is in recognition of the declining COVID-19 new cases, most of which are now very mild or have no symptoms and increasing vaccination coverage. A negative PCR certificate will only be a requirement if the returning resident or visitor is not fully vaccinated.”
The recovery rate was 96%, with 3 194 active cases having been recorded. The number of new COVID-19 cases decreased to1301 during the week under review, compared to the 2 004 recorded the previous week.
The number of cases in need of hospitalisation for COVID-19 continues to decrease, with the country’s bed occupancy rate declining to 1.3% during the week under review, from 2.3% the previous week. There were no admissions to intensive care unit.
Meanwhile, neighboring countries like South Africa have gone to further relax Covid-19 regulations after 2 years of masking up and living with the Virus.
The President of South announced that masks will no longer be required outdoors in South Africa but will continue to be required in public indoor spaces, including shops, offices and public transportation.
Most countries have began lifting their Covid-19 restrictions because of the decrease in the number of active cases.
However Government wishes to remind all citizens that COVID-19 is still with us and is, therefore, appealing to all Zimbabweans to continue adhering to the laid down World Health Organisation protocols at all times.
As at 29 March 2022, Zimbabwe had 246 042 confirmed cases, including 237 544 recoveries and 5 049 222 people have been vaccinated against Covid-19.
The National Vaccination Blitz saw 481 005 doses being administered between 21 and 25 March, 2022.
