Johannesburg - One of South Africa’s big four banks has placed several staff members in self-quarantine. This comes after one of the banks employees reported to the bank that he had been in contact with the KZN Midlands man who tested positive for the deadly coronavirus this week. The group returned to South Africa via OR Tambo International Airport on Sunday and boarded a connecting flight to Durban's King Shaka International Airport on the same day.
The school attended by the 38-year-old man's two children - Cowan House Preparatory, was also closed on Friday as a precaution. As a precaution, Nedbank has informed the National Institute for Communicable Diseases and placed all employees who had come in contact with the staff member on self-quarantine.
“Staff that have come into contact with the potentially affected employee on 2 March 2020 have already been contacted and placed in self-quarantine. They will be tested before they are cleared from self -quarantine to return to work,” said Adams.
