Covid-19 brought along its series of problems and some are said to have overstepped some human rights.
One pressing issue was the one concerning vaccination against Covid-19. The media has long since presented some strong arguments for and against vaccinations. Those who choose not to get vaccinated do so for various reasons that might be triggered by news all over of people who have died following vaccination complications.
Hence, it follows that sensitive matters such as these could have long term implications if someone was forced to make a decision against their will just to please the government or employers.
Whilst the Denmark government was removing all said covid preventative measures including vaccination, Zimbabwe’s government has even arrested pastors for including unvaccinated members in their church services. This follows after the mandate barring unvaccinated individuals from attending such services.
The matter was taken up to the High Courts as the Statutory Instrument was said to be infringing on human rights.
The police or any other authorities are no longer allowed to arrest anyone on the grounds of attending functions or services while not being vaccinated. Hence, unvaccinated individuals can attend church services freely once again.

To be vaccinated or not to be vaccinated, that matter is left to an individual to decide.
