OVER-STAYING in quarantine centres was taking its toll on some returnees, especially youths amid reports that at least four downed hand sanitisers at Bulawayo Polytechnic College last weekend to get high and “kill” the virus.
The young men claimed that they drank the sanitiser to kill the virus if they were infected, the source claimed.
Two weeks ago, Health minister Obadiah Moyo said they were now focusing on speeding up the testing process to avoid a situation where returnees overstay in quarantine centres.
Meanwhile, many are questioning if the returnees were infecting each other in quarantine or during the long trips from the border to the centres.
Concerned relatives of the returnees have taken to various social media platforms questioning the infection rate of the returnees.
