More than half of the coronavirus cases in Zimbabwe are now in two provinces, Mashonaland East and Mashonaland West which account for 53% of the cases.

Zimbabwe had 167 new cases and five deaths yesterday while 670 people recovered resulting in the number of active cases dropping to 7 594.

Mashonaland East has 2 627 and Mashonaland West, 1 399.

The other eight provinces now have less than a thousand cases each with Bulawayo having the lowest number at 172, followed by Matebeleland South with 232. Harare has 257 cases.

The country is currently under a Level Two lockdown but this should be reviewed today or tomorrow.
