Zimbabwe is bracing for a new surge in Covid-19 cases after the country was forced to take thousands of immigrants from South Africa without proper screening due to pressure at its points of entry during the festive season.
The southern African country has been recording an increase in Covid-19 cases in the past two months amid fears that a new variant of the coronavirus recently discovered in South Africa will worsen the outbreak after thousands of Zimbabweans flocked back home for the Christmas holiday.
