Deputy Minister of Information, Publicity & Broadcasting Services Energy Mutodi has taken to Twitter to share the COVID-19 Statistics and praise the initiative by the government to lock down the country for 21 days by saying it has crippled COVID-19.
Mutodi further said the suggestion by the MDC leader that the government tests everyone is unwise and said using stratified random sampling would show that the possibility of Zimbabwe being a COVID-19 footing are low.
Mutodi Tweeted:
The lockdown measures instituted by His Excellency President ED Mnangagwa have crippled the Covid-19 virus & prevented it from spreading internally. Current statistics show 73% cases are imported while 27% are contacts of foreign travelers. Mortality stands at 27%.
97% tested cases have come out negative. Compulsory testing in this case as suggested by Nelson Chamisa proves unwise. A stratified random sampling technique ensures tests focus on recent arrivals & their contacts. Probability of a COVID-19 foothold in Zimbabwe is next to zero.
Zimbabwe has recorded 3 COVID-19 deaths and 11 positive cases so far.

You can not rule out that its unwise because we are talking about saving lives here. Remember its not a one day event.If money was available its a good view.
What Thomas Mapfumo said about Energy Mutodi and PhD is very correct. Mutodi’s reasoning just like Obert Gutu does not match their qualifications. Sometimes it’s good to talk less to avoid exposing your weaknesses
You are absolutely correct Peter!!
