Energy Mutodi with President Emmerson Mnangagwa It appears the Zimbabwean government has yet again reduced the number of Coronavirus infected people in the country from 34 to 31.
The new figure was highlighted by Deputy Information Minister Energy Mutodi in a Twitter post on Monday.
Mocking Tanzanian President John Magafuli for his different approach to the control of the pandemic, Mutodi said Zimbabwe only has 31 cases while Health Ministry had earlier in the day maintained 34.
Zimbabwe has twice reviewed downwards its Coronavirus statistics. Two weeks ago the country brought down its count by one person claiming that the patient had been counted twice. Last week the Ministry of Health and Child Care further confused the world cutting down the number of cases in the country from 40 to 34 after claiming that six cases were incorrectly diagnosed.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa first hinted the reduction from 40 to 34, hours before the Health Ministry proclaimed the figures and Mutodi’s assertion may also just be another precursor of what government will announce.
