The Government of Zimbabwe has reactived stiffer penalties which were used during the first lockdown in 2020.
This comes after the post cabinet briefing which was held today.
Cabinet has directed for stiffer penalties to be imposed for violations including the withdrawal of business operating licences.
Traditional leaders have been implored to be more visible and forceful in the enforcement of lockdown regulations.
The Southern Africa nation, which has recorded more than 47,000 cases since the outbreak last year, has seen its 7-day average infection rate increasing five times to 727 compared to two weeks ago.
