Chitungwiza Residents Trust (CHITREST) has reported that health workers in the dormitory town of Chitungwiza have downed tools demanding personal protective equipment, salaries and COVID-19 allowances.

Below is the CHITREST alert:

We have learnt with sadness that the health workers at Chitungwiza Municipal clinics are on a job action.

The workers are demanding PPE, their salaries and covid 19 allowances.

This is very disappointing particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is our clarion call to Council to urgently address this anomaly.
