Surge in Covid-19 cases worrying
THE increase in Covid-19 cases is worrying.
While the figures are rising in official quarantine facilities and the impression is that they are contained, this is no reason to celebrate.
The risk of infection is growing by the day because we have people working in these centres who go back to their homes after work.
They have high chances of being exposed and exposing their families and friends to the virus.
Also, cases of people running away from quarantine centres should be taken seriously.
Most of these people have not been accounted for and we are all guessing where they are and whom they have been contacting.
I think the media is tiring fast in continuously telling the audience about the threat posed by the disease.
We are now in a new normal, but that should not mean everything is normal.
Unnecessary movement should be discouraged.
I was shocked last week to see vendors lining up an assortment of wares including shoes, woollen hats and cellphones in Harare central business district (CBD).
The wanton disregard of facial masks in most residential areas is alarming.
We are still in danger and Covid-19 is a reality. Peter Musaigwa, Mbare.
