The Matabeleland North Covid-19 Taskforce has turned Phezulu Lodge in Victoria Falls town into an alternative quarantine centre for returning citizens who do not want to be accommodated at Mosi-oa-Tunya High School.
The taskforce opened Mosi-oa-Tunya centre as the provincial quarantine facility before opening alternative facilities at Lupane State University and Mabhikwa High School both in Lupane.
"One was transferred from Mosi-oa-Tunya while the other one recently returned into the country," said the social welfare department in a daily update on Covid-19 quarantine centres in the province.
