Masvingo is faring well as cases are now down to 1 487, the lowest in the country at the moment, after 418 people recovered yesterday.
Active cases across the country have dropped to 45 180.
There were 1 940 new cases yesterday but the positivity rate was too high at 49.5% which means more people could in fact be infected.
