About 100 cases have been reported outside China including in the UK, US, Russia, Germany, Australia, Botswana and Namibia. The first confirmed fatal case outside China was announced in the Philippines on Sunday.
There is no cure for the virus which causes a severe acute respiratory infection. OR Tambo Port health official, Thandeka Nsele, describes the screening process underway at the airport. “We have identified flights coming directly from China and other many connecting flights here. We then meet those flights to do screenings. The thermo-scanner is pointed at them, at least a meter away, if their temperature is high it turns red and that will then alert the operator that there is something wrong. We are checking for high temperatures here. We will then get their travel history information.
Until SA knows who enters its borders it will never know what is inside.
