'RGM International Airport Not Well-quipped To Deal With COVID-19'

Parliamentarians have raised concerns over the lack of preparedness at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport to deal with the new coronavirus, COVID-19.

Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Health chairperson, Ruth Labode, said airport employees are at risk of contracting the virus as some of them do not have protective clothing. She said:

During the tour of the airport, I discovered that while the workers were putting on their preventative clothing, I witnessed an employee who was interacting with travellers coming from outside the country without a mask.

Employees at the entry points have to be extremely cautious to curb the spread of the virus.

… I have discovered that people are conscious of the virus, but it seems there are no adequate resources, making our entry points porous. I can give this airport 60 per cent in terms of their preparedness against Covid-19.
