Mutare Mayor Blessing Tandi on Thursday said the local authority’s Mutare Infectious Diseases Hospital is ill-equipped to handle coronavirus cases and needs US$400 000 to be refurbished.
Addressing a Press conference on the state of preparedness of Mutare City Council in dealing with the coronavirus, Tandi said suspected cases would be transferred to Wilkins Hospital in Harare.
“We need at least US$400 000 to renovate the Mutare Infectious Hospital,” Tandi said.

“A financial resource mobilisation for Mutare Infectious Diseases Hospital is being done so that it meets the standard required for a safe isolation unit,” he said.
“In the event of a suspected case, the individual will be transported to Wilkins Hospital for testing, isolation and further management,” the Mayor said.
