has ordered the placement of 32 mineworkers into quarantine after two of them tested positive for Covid-19 during a screening and testing process at their workplace at the Setlagole mine outside Mahikeng.
Sambatha, however, said he instructed Harmony Gold and the district health to place 20 other employees who were working in the same unit with the positive patients. “We decided to place all 32 of them in quarantine. I have also asked the mine management and the district health officials to trace people who had contact with the 32 mineworkers. The mine does not provide accommodation. The employees live in the village. It was necessary for us to trace some of the villagers who had contact with the miners,” Sambatha said.
“The two employees have been immediately placed in self-isolation and those who were in close contact with them have been identified and will be placed in quarantine while awaiting their test results.
