A Kwekwe businessman who tested positive for COVID-19 upon arrival from India died upon arrival at Kwekwe General Hospital.

_The nation is advised that Genomic sequencing tests are being done to determine if there was an import of the Indian strain. All positive persons are quarantined at home, are stable and are being closely monitored._

India is having a difficult time with health experts arguing that the country is recording about three million new cases on a daily basis.

Official reports, however, put the number at around 300 000 daily.

Meanwhile, Cabinet has announced that all returnees will be quarantined at their own expense and if they test positive for COVID-19, again they will be isolated at an isolation centre at their own expense.
