The government in not so many ways said it will deploy the army to ensure that the lockdown will be followed. This was revealed by the presidential spokesperson who spoke to the Zim Morning post and said:
We have escalated the fight from volition to compulsion and this means only security forces are capable of implementing the order.
The health ministry only plays an advisory role on the issue but the security forces will be the driving force in making sure that we win the war against corona virus
It is a national issue which involves security forces and the health ministry falls under vice president Constantino Chiwenga. There is no way he (Moyo) can chair the taskforce of a ministry supervised by the vice president.
The situation has reached another level and only military elements can implement the lockdown
This comes after the president initiated a 21-day lockdown to try and curb the spread of COVID-19.
