  • Two test positive for Covid-19
  • Business as usual at all other Fidelity centres
  • Harare office shut-down for disinfecting

Two staffers at Zimbabwe’s sole gold buyer and exporter have tested positive for Covid-19. Fidelity Printers and Refiners (FPR) General Manager Mr. Fradreck Kunaka confirmed the development.

The two tested positive for Covid-19 after routine tests for all FPR employees at the Head office in Msasa.

“It is true that two of our members tested positive to Covid-19 here at the head office in Harare”, Kunaka said. “We have shut-down the head-office for disinfecting and we can only be back in the office after the offices have been disinfected and all those who were in touch with the affected isolated for the recommended period per WHO guidelines”.

Kunaka said it will be business as usual at the branches across the country.

“It is business as usual at other Fidelity branches country-wide as Harare is the only one with positively detected staff. Our other centres can handle business as it always is, the only affected are ones who usually visit our branches for Fire Assaying”.

About Covid-19

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a Coronavirus. Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment.

HOW IT SPREADS

The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air and quickly fall on floors or surfaces.
You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth.
