Zimbabwe has banned all public gatherings and imposed a lockdown in two more districts, citing a surge in Covid-19 infections amid fears of a third wave of the pandemic.
Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, who doubles as Health and Child Care minister, announced the measures on Saturday after the country recorded a huge jump in newly recorded cases.
