Mokone said he was a living proof that regular washing and sanitising of hands, self-isolation and wearing a face mask were the best actions to curb the spread of Covid-19.
Limpopo MEC for economic development, environment and tourism Thabo Mokone announced yesterday he had recuperated from Covid-19 and was ready to teach the people of Limpopo about the virus.
Education MEC Polly Boshielo and sports, art and culture MEC Thandi Moraka also had a run-in with the deadly virus. The union blamed this for the spread of the virus. But lawyer Peter Sekgoape said the National Health Act was explicit on the confidentiality of a patient’s medical records and gave guidelines as to the circumstances where and how such information could be shared.
“The constitution gives credence to the rights of all citizens of the country. These are the rights to privacy and the rights to human dignity,” said Sekgoape.
