Private operators of public transport will have to wait longer to know the fate of their business enterprises after President Emmerson Mnangagwa maintained a strict transport ban while announcing an indefinite extension of the country's lockdown against the spread of coronavirus.
In a special announcement on measures being taken by his administration to prevent the spread of the world pandemic, Mnangagwa said the government run ZUPCO buses shall remain the only transport allowed to operate.
Among other measures, Mnangagwa maintained the social distancing requirements and the use of face masks and sanitisers among Zimbabweans.
The 21-day mandatory quarantine for returning citizens continues while all businesses seeking to reopen are required to follow laid down measures in regard to sanitisation, social distancing, temperature checks and monitoring.
In terms of schools, Mnangagwa said public examination classes and final year students must be allowed to proceed within the prevention measures while phased reopening of schools will be implemented.
