Kwekwe Converts Beerhall Into COVID-19 Screening Centre

Kwekwe City Council (KCC) has converted a local beerhall in Mbizo high-density suburb into a Coronavirus screening centre.

This was revealed by Acting Town Clerk Lucia Mkandla during a recent meeting with Midlands Provincial Affairs Minister Larry Mavhima. She said:

We had to upgrade Garandichauya beerhall into an infectious diseases control hospital.

We have none here in Kwekwe and in the event of a disaster, we will find it difficult to control.

We, therefore, had to commission the former Garandichauya Beerhall into an infectious disease control facility.

Kwekwe Mayor Angeline Kasipo said KCC has budgeted ZWL$1.8 million it received for devolution for the revamping of the screening facility.

Zimbabwe currently has only two screening centres in Harare and Bulawayo for coronavirus.
