Coronavirus: Zimbabwe lockdown hampered by food shortages

Zimbabwe has one of the lowest reported cases of coronavirus, but there are questions about whether this figure is an accurate reflection of presence of the virus.

The BBCs Shingai Nyoka brings this story of how Zimbabweans are coping against the ongoing threat of Covid-19.
