The Ministry of Health and Child Care on Monday said Zimbabwe has seen a sharp decline in Covid-19 cases over the past week, with daily cases dropping from 709 on January 10 to 144 on Sunday.
The country began experiencing the Omicron variant-driven fourth wave at the beginning of last month, leading the government to tighten lockdown measures.
Daily cases peaked at 6 181 on December 10, and have since been constantly declining.
Meanwhile, the government last Friday postponed the reopening of schools that was due on January 10 by three more weeks for further monitoring of the Covid-19 situation.
As of Sunday, the country had recorded 226 078 Covid-19 cases, 207 102 recoveries, and 5 247 deaths.
