Police Warn People Against Spreading Corona Intentionally As 12 Positive Inmates Escape From Quarantine
Police have warned members of the public against intentionally spreading coronavirus by escaping from quarantine and mingling with their unsuspecting relatives and colleagues.
This comes after twelve COVID-19 positive inmates escaped from the Beitbridge Border Quarantine Centre yesterday.
In a statement on Saturday, national police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi has appealed for information that may lead to the recapture of the 12 escapees. The statement read:
The Zimbabwe Republic Police warns members of the public against intentionally spreading the COVID-19 pandemic to unsuspecting relatives, peers and the general public.
This follows the escaping of twelve COVID-19 positive inmates from Beitbridge Border Quarantine Centre on 17 December 2021.
