Nurses in trouble as virus hits hospitals

ZIMBABWE’S COVID-19 response could suffer a huge blow following reports that more and more health workers in public hospitals were testing positive to the respiratory virus.

The country has been recording over 2 000 new infections since Wednesday as figures continue to gallop as well as 56 deaths on Thursday alone.

These figures include health workers who also live within the communities where the disease has caused havoc and most of these frontliners use public transport to report for duty.
