Government workers in Zimbabwe who do not want to be vaccinated against Covid-19 should resign, its justice minister said on Tuesday.
The southern African nation has so far vaccinated 2.7 million people, against a target of inoculating two-thirds of its 15 million population by the end of the year. President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government says it has paid for 12 million Covid-19 doses from China.
“We are not forcing you to be vaccinated but if you are a government employee, for the protection of others and the people that you are serving, get vaccinated,” Ziyambi told private radio station ZiFM Stereo. The Zimbabwean government employs more than 200,000 people, with teachers accounting for the largest number.Zimbabwe has recorded 125,671 Covid-19 cases and 4,493 deaths since the start of the outbreak last year, with more than half of these in the past two months.
