All those who have not been tested yet, we encourage you to be tested. You can get tested at Pelenomi or Universitas hospitals,” the church said.Health minister Zweli Mkhize said the church had hosted a four-day event this month attended by about 300 people. This included seven visitors from abroad, five of whom had since tested positive for the virus.
“They are still in the Free State. One has been taken to hospital and the others are still in quarantine,” Mkhize said.“The leadership of Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast South Africa would like to set the record straight concerning the news about the five guests from overseas who unfortunately were tested positive to the coronavirus.
