Zanu PF MP, Zimbabwe Youth Minister Tino Machakaire catches covid-19..Full Statement

Zimbabwe’s deputy minister of youth and Zanu PF Wedza South MP, Hon Tinomudaishe ‘Tino’ Machakaire(pictured R) tested positive for coronavirus on Wednesday, here is his full statement..

Dear Colleagues,
I hope you are well and healthy during these difficult times.
Unfortunately, the current news is not good, and our nation is in the midst of an alarming increase in COVID-19 cases. Infection rates are quite alarming and in the past week alone we’ve seen a sharp increase in the number of COVID-19 deaths.
l have also tested positive for COVID-19 and I have since self isolated. In times of a pandemic, privacy concerns must be balanced with efforts to protect others. l have decided to be responsible and I am appealing to everyone l have been in contact with recently to go and get tested, self isolate and seek necessary help.
This is a painful journey, it separates you from your loved ones. Self isolation is not easy at all. The kids want to play with you but you cant entertain them.

Machakaire-R

I pray for everyone’s safety and well being. I do not wish this for anyone. For those who are already affected, lets continue to pray together and hope for a better tomorrow. Our health will soon be restored.
Those who care for us are in a difficult situation, because when they call to check on us at times answering the phone is very difficult as one will be in a lot of pain.
Do not give up on us, send messages when the time is right we will respond.
Lets stick to the “3 Ws”:
Wear Your Mask. Wash Your Hands. Watch Your Distance.
God bless us all.
