The Mthonjaneni municipal offices in northern KwaZulu-Natal have been forced to temporarily close after 18 staff and councillors tested positive for Covid-19. A communique issued by the municipal manager on Sunday said the municipality would remain closed until further notice.
“Municipal employees and councillors who have been in close contact with these employees must advise the municipality and self-isolate for 14 days. They should also monitor themselves for flu-like symptoms.
