He appealed to the media and the public not to share information about coronavirus cases, and to leave it to the health department to make the announcements. Mkhize said eight new cases had been confirmed since Thursday's announcement of 16 cases, all of whom had travelled overseas. The fact that all the cases so far are imported is important, as it signals there is so far no local transmission of the highly contagious virus. The novel coronavirus causes a potentially severe respiratory disease called Covid-19.
