This as President Cyril Ramaphosa convenes a special cabinet meeting on Sunday to discuss ways of intensifying the battle against the virus.
The number of confirmed cases in South Africa has now increased to 38. At least 140-thousand people have been diagnosed with Covid19 across the globe – with over five-thousand deaths. The World Health Organization says Europe is now the epicentre of the pandemic – which originated in China. DA Shadow Health Minister, Siviwe Gwarube, says measures need to be put in place to protect the lives of South Africans.who have returned to South Africa from Wuhan in China have been safely transported to the Ranch Hotel in Polokwane, Limpopo.
The group, including 14 medical professionals and volunteers were transported in a convoy to the quarantine zone. The Health Department says they have all tested negative for COVID-19.In video below SA citizens are welcomed by Polokwane residents
They mst, we seen now dat even ppl asymptomatic test +ve 4this virus, so fever or no fever, they must be quarantined HealthZA WHO DOD_SANDF must take over if CyrilRamaphosa is unwilling to protect us, we have a national emergency, our well being is under biological threat!
I agree
Jaa,we must all be careful of this virus.🤭🤭
Only South Africans returning home; others can postpone their visits...
Mthura08669003 Agreed
Because it's White people travelled from Italy with coronavirus and bring it here. According to da they must quarantine not ban
Too late. Started by the greedy spread by the rich travellers.
Why not ban them?
Where? In Polokwane or Robben Island?
Now that Stellenbosch has spoken, maybe CR will have a listen and actually do something…for once.
Mazzone should have been the first to be quarantined
GovernmentZA is dump
Wise move that can help RSA
It's a pity that RSA is still allowing people from other countries to enter the country while there is an outbreak of this covid19SA
Close the border full stop
Who is going to pay for the quarantine. They must ban the traveling
If this virus was from Africa and dominant among black people, this white Our_DA could have went to court on an urgent basis to force CyrilRamaphosa to close borders
This government is 💩💩💩💩💩 All measures should have been in place since the start of this virus spread
Agree
We want all Travel to Ban until...
Clever le DA yenu they don't want travel to be ban bcoz they want white European people to come in number in SA,
Wise call
They must be turned away to where they come from.
It true
38 cases out of 50 plus million people and the media goes viral. In SA more people get murdered daily, never mind motor vehicle fatalities but what the hell, we used to that, right? Its no longer news worthy. Media and Politics is the biggest virus that should be isolated
Well the eff idiots have called for all borders to be openned and now they want to stop flights from Europe such a great smart leader!!! Not!!!!
That was supposed to be done from first day. Wathi Cyril and Zweli we are ready for it
What the ANC government can advice people is to tell us '' Wash your hands''
Where are we going to quarantine them ...we quarantine South Africans in a hotel .. ANC should have had a plan wen this was announced .. South Africans only waking up to the reality of the situation now ..
Close border klk not so?
What is difficult for Cyril to stop all the travels.....I. mean he can't fix Eskom what is he gonna do with Corona....
It is too late the COVID 19 have already spread. I expect cases across SA to increase exponentially. Let's start the self quarantine today to flatten the curve.
Tshelani le DA yenu ukuthi ivili lijikile kufa abelungu Sithi ukuhafula isicefe
It is too late the COVID 19 have already spread. I expect cases to across SA to increase exponentially. Let's start the self quarantine today to flatten the curve.
Da must keep quiet, investors will be upset 😜😜😜😜
I also agree, just for the safety of the entire population.
Hopefully DA president Cyril Ramaphosa will do it this time cause he has been ignoring such call from black people
Where nogal?
DA is our government, ask yourself why DA has issues this request and Ramaphosa has called urgent cabinet meeting. it means he has being told what to do.
The DA is not govt. Let's wait for the outcome of the cabinet meeting today.
Burn them
Lol. Kinda too late
That's foolishness... Tested Yes, quarantine No!
