Zimbabwe has no coronavirus deaths over the weekend

Zimbabwe had no coronavirus deaths yesterday and today and had only 18 new cases today raising the total to 7 526.

It had three recoveries and this saw the number of active cases increase to 1 624.

Recoveries now total 5 678.

Although there have been fewer new cases of late, most of them local transmissions, officials say the country is not out of the woods yet.

Globally the number of cases is now approaching 30 million with 29.1 million cases including 927 100 deaths. The number of recoveries has risen to 21 million while there are still 7.2 million active cases.

India, which is averaging about 100 000 new cases a day, could clock five million cases any time while the United States could reach 200 000 deaths in the next day or two.
