COVID-19 Death Recorded At Harare Polytechnic

A single COVID-19 death was recorded at the Harare Polytechnic on Wednesday, authorities at the learning institution said.

The Principal, Tafadzwa Mudondo said fourteen members of staff tested positive during routine testing earlier this week, and one succumbed on Wednesday. Said Mudondo:

_Unfortunately, one of our support staff from the 14 that tested positive has succumbed to Covid-19. We are engaged with the ministry on this and we are continuing with testing measures._

The principal added that mass testing of students and staff was already underway while no decision had been taken to close the college.

The institution suspended a number of learners in March this year for allegedly hugging inside the college grounds in violation of the college’s COVID-19 prevention measures.
