Mutsvangwa called for strict adherence to World Health Organisation (WHO) COVID-19 regulations, and urgent vaccination of the populace.

“It is also important that we continue to wear our masks, social distance and maintain all other preventive measures so that we overcome this pandemic as a nation.”
