The two doctors, who work in Mpumalanga but live in Limpopo, were asymptomatic and had self-isolated at their homes, as endorsed by government.
While the country was enjoying the relaxing of certain restrictions during the first week of the lockdown, it appears the Limpopo government is enforcing strict measures to rid the province of the coronavirus.
“You informed the doctors that since they don’t work for the Limpopo provincial health department, they should go back to where they are employed.But the MEC’s spokesperson, Thilivhali Muavha, said that was untrue and that the departments of the two provinces were working on handling the issue. After testing positive, the two doctors allowed their domestic worker to go back to the informal settlement, where she lives with her nine-year-old child, to self-quarantine, Muavha explained.
