At least 29 Zimbabweans have died of coronavirus in the UK, according
to the Zimbabwean Embassy in London.
The Embassy said in a statement it has no official figures
but “has been able to gather information from the Diaspora community and
religious leaders, cluster leaders, affected individuals and the media, on
Zimbabweans who have passed on due to Covid-19”.
“To date, the Embassy has not received updated information
from the host Government on the deaths of Zimbabweans due to Covid-19,
understandably because the British government has explained that it is
currently seized with implementing measures to contain the pandemic. They have
promised to provide detailed information as soon as it is possible.”
With so many Zimbabweans in the nursing field in Britain,
they are now particularly vulnerable. Some 60 000 Zimbabweans in England at
risk of being infected.
