Rainbow Tourism Group (RTG) has weighed in, in the fight to contain the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) by donating linen to health institutions across the country.
The hotel management company joined a number of local corporates that have chipped in to assist the government in ensuring that the local healthcare system is not overwhelmed.
Covid-19 has claimed the life of broadcaster Zororo Makamba, while nine people have tested positive in Zimbabwe.
On March 27, President Emmerson Mnangagwa imposed a 21-day lockdown in an effort to slow down the spread of the virus in the country.
Mnangagwa called for concerted efforts from all Zimbabweans if the country was to contain the virus that saw RTG chipping in with the donation.
