TellZim citizen journalists today took some time to drive around town to assess the situation on the first day of the national lockdown to fight the coronavirus. Here is a picture collage of what is obtaining on the ground |
Two women cross the largely empty Robert Mugabe Rd |
On normal days, Chitima Market is a hive of activity |
The leopold Takawira kombi terminus and the adjacent flea market looks deserted |
Banks closed to the public and open only to ‘exceptional’ cases like deposits of large sums by security companies |
Very few cars in the CBD |
A fast food retailer is open. Is fast food an ‘essential’ service? |
Nyaradzo funeral parlour only accepting people who intend to bury their dead. None-essential staff like accounts not on duty. |
