The country is under a Level Two national lockdown until 28 January and has said schools could open a week after that if the situation has improved.
Though only 3 835 people were tested yesterday, what was significant was the positivity rate which was down to 8%. A country is said to be in control of the pandemic when the positivity rate is 5% and below.
A total of 1 095 people recovered yesterday, 804 of them in Matebeleland North alone which saw the number of active cases in the province drop to 1 374.
Mashonaland East remains with the highest number at 3 229, followed by Mashonaland West with 2 568 cases.
Four provinces now have less than a thousand cases each. Matebeleland South has 969, Harare 773, Masvingo 615 and Bulawayo 449.
Active cases are now down to 14 603.
