Some parts of Zimbabwe have been hit by a wave of Influenza, which in some cases has developed into complications such as pneumonia and diarrhoea as the cold weather persists in the country.
Health and Child welfare Deputy Minister Edwin Muguti said people who develop that kind of Flu strain should see the doctor early.
“We expect the outbreak to go away soon and also encourage people to take a lot of fluids and citrus fruits which contain vitamin C to mitigate the Flu,” Dr Muguti said.
Symptoms of the Flu include splitting headaches, dry coughs and weak joints similar to malaria.
