President Cyril Ramaphosa has called a special Cabinet meeting to address the South African government’s response to the Covid-19 outbreak.
This comes as the confirmed number of people who have been diagnosed with the disease now stands at 17 — with that number expected to increase.
“We strongly caution people against attempting to make any physical contact or attempting to visit the quarantine zone. One the quarantine period ends, and tests confirm no underlying Covid-19 virus infection of our compatriots, they will be released back into their respective communities.” “I am as blank as you are [about where the site is]. But naturally, we don’t want people to flock there. It won’t even be good for the people who are there. Why would we advertise where this place is? It would defeat the purpose of quarantine if we were to tell everybody,” he said.
