President Emmerson Mnangagwa has extended the COVID-19-induced lockdown saying that it has to continue on Level 2 for an indefinite period.

In his address to the nation this Saturday, He said:

“We shall have regular two-week interval reviews to assess progress or lack of it.”

The extension comes amid intensified calls by some members of the public and the business community for the government to lift the lockdown which they say is worsening the preexisting socio-economic crisis in the country.
