The government is now considering strategies to lift the lockdown given the current sporadic cases and the potential for a new cycle of Covid-19 outbreak if containment measures are not in place. Among the WHO criteria that countries need to consider before lifting lockdowns is the ability of health systems to quickly detect, test, isolate, and treat new cases, as well as to trace close contacts. Widespread Covid-19 testing will likely generate large amounts of epidemiological data that the government can use to assess risks and predict disease patterns in Zimbabwe. Before the lockdown is lifted, the government will need to come up with measures of preventing the spread and importation of Covid-19.
