Retailers yesterday welcomed the extension of trading hours by three-and-a-half hours under the new Covid-19 lockdown measures announced by President Mnangagwa.
Yesterday, President Mnangagwa eased the lockdown to Level 2, which allows businesses to operate from 8am to 7pm.
Other economic activities such as intercity travel that were previously banned under the enhanced Level 4 lockdown which has been operational since late June when the Covid-19 third wave hit the country, have also been permitted.
Confederation of Zimbabwe Retailers (CZR) president Mr Denford Mutashu yesterday urged businesses and the general public to “strictly adhere to the measures”.
“The Confederation of Zimbabwe Retailers applauds President Mnangagwa for relaxing Covid-19 restrictions by announcing a Level 2 lockdown in order to curb the global pandemic,” he said.
“CZR, therefore, urges people to continue getting vaccinated. The country is in a state of war against the pandemic.”
