Coronavirus: Zimbabwe allows ‘low risk’ sports with immediate effect

Sports such as athletics, golf, tennis and motorsport are now permitted in Zimbabwe from 0800-1630 after being classified as “low risk” by the government.

Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa has classified sports into three categories – low, medium and high risk – and the low risk ones can be participated in with immediate effect.

However, in practice low-risk events can only proceed once all competitors are tested, so they will not begin straight away. Horse racing may begin on Friday, the BBC’s Steve Vickers in Harare reported. (Text, photo -BBC)
