Companies that should have re-opened when lockdown measures were relaxed on Monday yet remain shut have blamed "unfeasible" conditions set by the government.
They've been told they must test their own employees for coronavirus before resuming operations, but business leaders say this defies both health and economic logic.
Backed by several doctors' groups, the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries says the test kits recommended by the government are not certified by the World Health Organization, are too expensive and don't give accurate results.
Some kits have been selling online for as much as $50 (£40) each in Zimbabwe.
