Zimbabwe's Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development Joel Matiza died of coronavirus. Before Matiza, two other ministers have died due to the global pandemic.
According to the report, Matiza has become the third government minister to die of the virus within a week and the fourth since the virus was first reported in the country in March last year. As the pandemic continues ravaging the country, the nation has yet to bury Foreign Minister Sibusiso Moyo, who died of the virus on Wednesday. Earlier on January 15, Manicaland Minister of State for Provincial Affairs Ellen Gwaradzimba succumbed to the virus.
Zimbabwe's COVID-19 cases have surpassed the 30,000 mark after the country recorded 639 new cases in the last 24 hours, the Ministry of Health and Child Care said Friday. Talking about global cases, almost 100 million cases of coronavirus have swept around the globe since the pandemic began last March.
