By Jane Mlambo|Ministry of Health and Child Care has revised the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases from 40 reported on 30 April to 34 saying the six clustered cases from Harare which were taken for re-test came out negative.

In a statement yesterday evening, MoHCC said, “As at 01 May, Zimbabwe had 34 confirmed cases, including five (5) recoveries and four(4) deaths. The 6 cases from Harare previously recorded as positive on 29 April have been confirmed negative after Quality Assurance.”

The ministry reported that all tests done yesterday tested negative but the further changing of figures casts doubt on the whole process considering that test results for the 34 people who reported positive did not have another re-test opportunity afforded to the six in Harare.
