ZIMBABWE – Police and Social Welfare officers have sent an alert and are appealing for information leading to the location of eight Covid-19 inmates who escaped from Mushagashe Quarantine Centre on Tuesday night.

Provincial Covid-19 taskforce spokesperson Rodgers Irimayi confirmed the matter to The Mirror.

It is not clear whether the inmates had been tested or not or for how long they have been in quarantine.

Many inmates are escaping from the centres because of the inhuman living conditions found there.

Some three inmates escaped from  quarantine centre two weeks back after complaining of poor living standards at the facility.MasvingoMirror
