BUSINESS says while it understands the need for the re-introduced hard national coronavirus lockdown, any further tightening and prolonging of these measures will hurt commerce and industry and also retard the country’s economic re- covery.
Speaking to The Financial Gazette yesterday, in the wake of the country’s tight- ened Covid-19 regulations — which saw a worried government re-introducing a dusk-to-dawn curfew among other measures organised business warned that Zimbabwe’s still fragile economy could ill afford disruptions to production.
Employers Confederation of Zimbabwe (Emcoz) president, Israel Murefu, was among the business leaders who said while they understood the reasons for the re-in- statement of level four of the Covid-19 management measures, some of the re- strictions — including the directive to cut labour forces at workplaces and trading hours — would hurt production badly.
