Farai Dziva|Emmerson Mnangagwa has said Mupedzanhamo and Mbare Musika markets will only be closed when the need arises.

Mnangagwa was responding to questions about Coronavirus from journalists.

“The process is likely to follow, but for now, we have decided to have health personnel around the area to monitor and make sure that people coming in or out of those places are screened.

If the need arises that we close Mbare (green market) and other markets, we will do so. But this is the first phase of our action to restrict free movement,” said Mnangagwa.
