Three Test Positive For Covid-19 At Masvingo Polytechnic

Three students at Masvingo polytechnic have tested positive for Covid-19 as the virus continues to sweep across several institutions of higher learning in the province.

The infected students are self isolating at home with their condition said to be mild.

Masvingo provincial Covid-19 taskforce spokesperson, Mr Rodgers Irimayi said more students are being tested for Covid-19 at the institution to establish the extent of the spread.

He said the problem was compounded by the fact that the infected students are non-residents and might have spread the virus to other students.

Resident students, who test positive for the virus will be put in self-isolation in their halls of residence.

The latest outbreak at Masvingo polytechnic comes after both Morgenster and Bondolfi Teacher’s were a few weeks ago put under lockdown following the outbreak of Covid-19.

The situation has since been contained at the two teacher training colleges.

Chiredzi was also put under localised lockdown by government following a surge in cases of the virus.
