Masvingo Province has received a second consignment of 200 rapid results test kits as the Government moves to ensure more people get tested for Covid-19 and curb its spread.

The province exhausted its initial allocation of 200 rapid results test kits last week after expanding the fight against the pandemic to remote areas.

Masvingo is still to record its first Covid-19 case, with all results from tests conducted coming out negative.

Provincial medical director Dr Amadeous Shamu yesterday said testing for Covid-19 was being expanded to contain the spread of the disease.

Testing enables those infected with Covid-19 to be isolated early and get treatment under quarantine before they infect more people.

“We are expanding our testing for Covid-19 to all parts of the province as Government continues to avail more test kits,” he said.-State media
