Provincial Epidemiology Disease Control officer, Dr. Gift Masoja, told reporters that they have also shutdown a nearby clinic due to rising local numbers of COVID-19 cases in the medical centers. Dr. Masoja said the dead Chegutu General Hospital employee was working in the pharmacy department. He said they decided to shutdown the hospital in order to clean it up with chemicals recommended by the World Health Organization.
