Two Zimbabweans died of coronavirus today down from five yesterday while new cases dropped from 48 to 13.

Thirty-two people recovered resulting in the number of active cases dropping to 938.

Zimbabwe has so far reported 36 484 cases, 34 043 recoveries and 1 503 deaths.

Active cases in Harare dropped to 463, those in Matebeleland North to 193, while Manicaland remained at 125 and Bulawayo rose to 42.

Zimbabwe is worried about a third wave and has warned citizens that it might bring back restrictive measures because of increasing complacency.

There have been more than 22 600 new cases and 1 100 deaths so far this year.
