Covid-19 cases have escalated making it difficult to carry out any face to face interactions. Such is the case at Midlands State University’s Zvishavane Campus.
The University was forced to suspend face to face lectures after 54 individuals tested positive for Covid-19. These individuals are mainly students at the University.
Acting Midlands provincial medical director, Dr Reginald Mhene confirmed these cases. He further stated that tests and contact tracing is still ongoing. However, to curb the spread of the virus, the university will only hold online lectures. The suspension of face to face lectures was applied with immediate effect starting on 30 June 2021. These changes apply to both the Zvishavane Campus and the main Gweru Campus.
This developments comes at a time when the government has also announced a new set of Level 4 lockdown restrictions. The restrictions were also applied with immediate effect starting on 30 June 2021.
