The Hilton man remains in isolation as a Gauteng woman tests positive and a SA man in South Korea is halted from coming home after testing positive at airport.
Despite calls for calm from the national Department of Health, fear is on the rise as new Covid-19 cases were confirmed in South Africa on Saturday.
“He was due to return to the country but has remained in South Korea. We are following up with the South Korean authorities to obtain formal confirmation of where our citizen is being treated.” “Phones are not readily available to patients as local families sometimes overrun the facilities, but they made exceptions for him to keep us updated. We understand their concern and are grateful for caring for and treating my brother,” she said.
“We have not heard from him for a couple of days, and this uncertainty is killing us and our parents. They are stressed out, but knowing that the local embassy is attempting to track him and make contact means a lot to the family, and I am sure it means a lot to him.” On Saturday Mkhize said that around 151 South African citizens being repatriated from Wuhan in China amid the outbreak will immediately be placed in quarantine when they arrive in South Africa.
George Harris, Hilton College headmaster, sent out a statement on Thursday saying a pupil had on Tuesday visited The Quarry Centre medical rooms that had been visited by the infected Hilton man. Mahlambi said all parents needed to remain calm as there would not be a case that Mkhize would not have knowledge of. “All of us must take our cue from the department of health. And, as the KZN MEC for Education, Kwazi Mshengu, said, there will not be any schools closed.” Simelane-Zulu confirmed that 18 people across the province were in self-isolated quarantine as a precaution to prevent the spread of the virus.
