Universities offer quarantine sanctuary

Government has designated local universities and other institutions of higher learning as temporary quarantine venues for all returning residents as part of efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, as Zimbabwe intensifies measures to ensure the 21-day lockdown is a success, writes George Maponga for The Herald.

All returning residents into the country using both legal and illegal channels have to go into self-quarantine for 21 days as part of ongoing efforts by the government to stem the spread of the coronavirus.

The country is currently under lockdown after President Emmerson Mnangagwa ordered a three-week shutdown that has now passed the half-way stage, with citizens earning plaudits for positively responding to the call to stay home.
