GOVERNMENT has extended the current Level Four lockdown by another two weeks, meaning that the prevailing restrictions will exist until February 15.
Announcing the measures in an address this afternoon, Acting President Dr Constantino Chiwenga said the decision had been taken because of the likelihood of new strains and Covid-19 variants that could be more severe.
