Food Distribution To Vulnerable Communities To Continue During Lockdown - Govt

The government has said it will continue distributing food to vulnerable communities even during the lockdown, New Ziana reports.

This was reportedly revealed by Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa during a COVID-19 media briefing after a COVID-19 inter-ministerial taskforce meeting. Mutsvangwa said:

The distribution of food aid will continue, certainly we want our people to continue having food. However distribution points will be increased to minimise large gatherings.

Grain and monetary payments are being made to 760 000 households throughout the country,

The minister did not shed light on how the food distribution will be handled without people congregating to collect the food.
