In an official statement, ZEC said it is important for those who are feeling unwell or displaying symptoms of illness to consider wearing masks.

 “The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission advises all voters that there is no requirement for a voter to put on a mask when visiting a polling station.

 “However, those with symptoms related to COVID-19 may put on their masks for the safety of others.

 “Nevertheless, all voters will be sanitized before entering the polling station,” Reads the statement.
