New cases are on the increase in Masvingo and Matebeleland South which now have 137 and 100, respectively, while Harare and Bulawayo are at 396 and 69.

Just over 5 000 people were vaccinated today with 1 072 getting the first jab and 4 641 the second.

So far 375 315 people have been fully vaccinated while 686 636 have received one dose.

The government has denied that it is running out of vaccines but the numbers tell a different story.
