By A correspondent- The government through the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has closed seven courthouses after an undisclosed number of court officials tested positive for Covid-19.

In a statement last night, JSC said Covid-19 positive cases were reported at Chinhoyi, Karoi, Kariba, Bindura, Mt Darwin, Mutare Magistrates’ Court and Mutare High Court.

“We are closing these seven (7) courthouses for purposes of fumigation, testing of staff and contact tracing of all the people who may have come into contact with the cases,” JSC said.

“Litigants and legal practitioners who may want to file any papers at these courts may get in touch with the Registrar, Resident Magistrate, Additional Sheriff or Assistant Master on duty.”
