Harare urged to take heed of Covid-19 measures or die

Over the past week, Covid-19 cases and deaths have been increasing.

This forced Government to place localised lockdowns in Kariba, Karoi and Kwekwe  where the numbers are rising.

Harare is not spared either. We are the economic hub of the country and the population during daytime multiplies threefold as people throng into the city for various business.

We implore our valued residents, stakeholders and ratepayers to take heed of preventive measures announced recently by Government to reduce the spread of the virus.

We need everyone to play a role as we thrive to reach our vision. We want everyone alive, we want your contribution towards the development of this city and country.

Over and above what the Government has said on preventing the disease, we would like to urge our residents to avoid unnecessary travel into the CDB and gatherings at local shopping centres.

We understand that many are running around trying to make ends meet and we believe the Government is aware of this but for those that just want to travel or gather for the sake of it please take heed of the preventative measures by Government and those that we have always been practising over the past 18 months. If you have to gather, outdoor gatherings are safer than indoor ones, particularly if indoor spaces are small and without outdoor air coming in.

The virus seems to be continually coming in different forms and variants but health experts say preventive measures remain the same.        

Let us listen to advice lest we all perish. Reported by the City of Harare on June 17, 2021.
