Johannesburg - The coronavirus quarantine site for about 151 uninfected South Africans who are to be repatriated from the city that’s the epicentre of the outbreak will be a strict no-go zone.
The minister emphasised that there were no confirmed cases of the virus in South Africa but added that the nationals who wished to be repatriated were the priority for the government. Mkhize said Dirco, with the support of the SANDF, would lead the evacuation to South Africa which will take place within seven to 10 days. The process would be carried out in three phases - the evacuation, quarantine and reunification.
“All the support staff that will be handling the quarantine process will also go into quarantine themselves to seal the whole chain so anyone who could be exposed will be brought in,” said Mkhize.The facility will also be a no-entry and no-fly zone.
