Zimbabwe’s COVID-19 infections have surpassed the 30,000 marks after the country recorded 639 COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours, the Ministry of Health and Child Care said on Friday.

In a statement issued by the ministry, said the new cases pushed the country’s total cases to 30,047, while 38 deaths recorded over the period had raised the country’s toll to 917.

A total of 19,569 people have so far recovered from the disease since the first case was reported in March 2020.

Zimbabwe is in the middle of a new 30-day lockdown imposed on Jan. 5 to curtail the further spread of the pandemic.
