Area of Concern
Disregard for COVID-19 Restrictions
We highlight concerns in socio-economic spaces and forums were our snap survey indicated increased disregard of COVID-19 restrictions. The survey notes with alarm that only 58% of Zimbabweans are avoiding social gatherings down from 91% in 2020. This is a significant drop of adherence to COVID regulations. We continue to highlight the high transmissibility of present COVID-19 variants and the point of COVID-19 transmission even in a vaccinated population or a population with potentially high natural immunity.
We call for increased displays of personal responsibility and awareness in adherence to COVID-19 regulation in all socio-economic social gatherings and activities.
We call upon the media to increase coverage of COVID-19 news reporting.
