Health authorities are considering legal action against a Parow man who sparked panic by allegedly lying about having the coronavirus.
The 32-year-old apparently became impatient and used the virus as an excuse to jump the line at Tygerberg Hospital on Friday, demanding that he be tested after exhibiting signs associated with Covid-19.
“Upon subsequent investigation and assessment, it was found that the person did not have any travel history to an affected country and as such, the person was discharged because they are not a suspected case. Meanwhile, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said on Sunday the third person diagnosed with Covid-19 in South Africa is the wife of the first confirmed case, a man from KwaZulu-Natal.
“We expect the results of the other six group members who had travelled to Italy within the next 48 hours.”He said he had spoken to the man who was “upbeat and jovial”.
