Minister of Health Zweli Mkhize has retracted earlier reports of a coronavirus case in the Free State and has announced that the 14 Limpopo students who returned from China recently have all tested negative via SABCNewsOnline
The minister says the 14 students who also returned from a TVET college in China tested negative for the virus. He says that the government was not worried about the students.
“We knew that they were not at risk, however with mounting speculation, we felt that it was important for us just to take a necessary precaution, just to make sure that this matter is put to rest once and for all. Between our department and the provincial government of Limpopo we discussed the matter and all agreed that these students must actually be called, so that we do the test and allay the fears of the public on this matter.
The Minister also confirmed that the Ranch Resort will be used as a quarantine facility for those who will be repatriated.
