Zimbabwe president announces curfew to curb coronavirus

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa

Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa said on Tuesday that security forces would enforce a dusk to dawn curfew from Wednesday to combat the coronavirus outbreak.

But critics and the opposition say authorities want to stop anti-government protests planned for next week by activists who say government corruption has worsened economic hardships.
