Zimbabwe has tightened restrictions in the country for another two weeks amid rising coronavirus cases.

Under the new measures government activities are to be scaled down to 30% except for essential services.

Hotels and lodges have been asked to provide room service to prevent guests from congregating in restaurants.

Businesses that close down during the festive season have been urged to do it earlier – on 22 December.
