By A Correspondent- Speaker of Assembly Jacob Mudenda has revealed that several legislators including two parliament staffers who tested COVID-19 positive have fully recovered.
Said Mudenda:
“…… Following the testing of COVID – 19 to Members of Parliament and staff on Monday, 31st August, 2020 and Tuesday, 1st September, 2020 we have been advised that the City of Harare and Parliament Clinic will be contacting only those who tested positive to Covid-19 from today until Friday, 4th September, 2020.
Consequently, those who do not receive any call by Friday, 4 September, 2020 would have tested negative to Covid-19.
We urge those who test positive to strictly observe the World Health Organisation guidelines on isolation as advised by the Ministry of Health and Child Care and the Parliament Clinic.
We also urge you to remain very calm and positive and we would like to assure you that we are together in this Covid-19 pandemic. You will be in our prayers everyday and we wish you a speedy recovery.
Further details that relate to those who have tested positive will be given by the Parliament of Zimbabwe and the Medical Team that has been assisting Parliament of Zimbabwe.
I must say before we opened for this session here, there were quite a number of Members of Parliament and two staff members who had tested positive, but I was very pleased to learn that they have taken the results well and all of them have recovered.”
