Cabinet has resolved to reopen all the country’s borders following a decline in Covid 19 cases that were fuelled by the Omicron variant.
Travellers will be required to present a valid negative coronavirus test that is not more than 48 hours old to enter the country, Mutsvangwa told reporters after a cabinet meeting Tuesday in the capital, Harare.
The Minister said the number of new Covid-19 cases decreased to 929 during the week under review, compared to 992 recorded the previous week.
“In view of the continued decline in new cases and deaths coupled with a declining testing positivity rate that is indicating that the community transmission has gone down, all ports of entry be: reopened but ensuring that all the recommended Covid-19 prevention measures are adhered to, and all persons entering Zimbabwe must have undergone a valid Covid-19 PCR test not more than 48 hours from the time of their departure for Zimbabwe, and fully vaccinated.”
Those who have received a booster vaccine shot have an entry advantage,” she said.
