Census enumerator bitten by a dog

A CENSUS enumerator was on Monday bitten by a dog at a house in Kuwadzana while collecting the national census data. The enumerator sustained a cut on her leg.
She was taken to hospital where she was treated and discharged. Harare provincial police spokesperson Chief Inspector James Sabau confirmed the incident. He said the owner of the dog was arrested and released after paying a fine.
"The victim went to a house in Kuwadzana 7 to collect the census data when a ferocious dog attacked her while sitting on a verandah. She was bitten on the leg," said Chief Insp Sabau.
He said the owner of the dog immediately made a report to the police and was arrested. 
"He was released after paying a fine," said Chief Insp Sabau. 
There were reports on Monday that in some low-density suburbs in Harare some families were reportedly denying enumerators access to their homes.
It is an offence under the Census and Statistics Act to refuse to co-operate during such an important exercise.
National Census started on the 18th of this month and ends on the 27th of the same month.
