WHO has raised concerns in areas such as infection prevention and control and also case management of the virus.
Globally, close to 86 000 people have been infected in over 50 countries and almost 3 000 people have died from COVID 19 – the vast majority in China.Technical Officer at the WHO Regional Office for Africa, Dr Mary Stephens, says they will continue to assist South Africa and other countries. The Organisation says if the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus hits Africa, it is ready to respond effectively and provide additional support to countries within 48 hours.
“Our government has done enough to make sure that we are safe from coronavirus, that is why we haven’t heard any reports of it in our country. 2. I feel like not much has been done, these people should go in schools to educate our children and even produce books,” says Mkhize.South Africa’s inter-ministerial committee on the spread of the Covid-19 viral disease is set to brief the media at the OR Tambo International airport, on Sunday.
Why you guys still believe the WHO? They are fucking crooks！
africasacountry SABC has issued a correction to this.
Coronavirus --a drop in the ocean--will soon be cured globally BUT after it 666/Mark of the Beast will kill more mankind than anything ever came before it

The problem the memo hasn't reached our community hospitals, go there tomorrow you'll find Friday's blood on the floor.
I believe it too , just go to OR Tambo and you will notice that the detection machine is at immigration counters yet you have airline staff and other staff interacting with passengers at the aircraft after it lands and this is way before the detection machine.
There it is. We knew this.
😅😅😅 yes but, we knew this
A disaster awaits us in South Africa .DrZweliMkhize
Certainly true.

What was that minister of health saying kanti
So the WHO say we not prepared for this virus but we bringing people home that have been in the city where it started. And the minister is “shocked” that South Africans don’t trust the health dept.
So does that mean once we are adequately prepared the virus will come?
No shit
True,the finance minister tito_mboweni the allocate funds to this in his budget . And that demonstrates lack of preparedness and no response mechanism in case of an outbreak
drzwelimkhize healthza are putting this country at risk, they are out of depth. Repatriating those south africans from Hubei [wuhan] is playing russian roulette.
sthembete Delete the tweet, you are spreading false information
szavanna Ranked number 34 in the world in preparedness for Corona.
Rebaone59275709 The level of journalism has deteriorated big time.
the first tweet was right mos😐
Well If the headline and details of this story have been corrected why don’t you delete this tweet and stop spreading fear ?
khulumile khulumile
We ready. We have good good hospitals with quarantine sections!
It needs no explanation
Some one will eat money of the mask 😷 just watch
Deni707 No surprise its sa is a cesspool. And sabc is fake news.
CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA please come this side...
_JS_Bond_ CyrilRamaphosa SERIOUSLY 🤦 CLOSE OUR BORDERS NOW...SEND THE ARMY IN CALL UP RESERVES ...NEVER MIND COVID19 ...EBOLA FROM THE DRC!!! GET PATROLS LET NO ONE IN!
PoliticsL Delete the tweet then before it spreads misinformation.
Even if WHO was to come 5 years from now we would still not be prepared
CyrilRamaphosa wa utlwa
Perhaps remove this incorrect headline
Let's hope the two south African will recover soon from this virus
Not even the United States of America is prepared to deal with corona virus. Its no-obes fault. Don't try to manipulate the headlines. Leave them like that
CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA DrZweliMkhize Other countries around the world are busy holding media briefings assuring their people about intentions and strategies of to contain or fighting this virus but here in RSA u telling us u fetching people from China
WHO didn't see our call-center. They answer calls in all eleven official languages and BBBEE complaint.
I will take the first story ...not the corrections
Prepared? Ha! This is the same country where people almost died because of polony last year...
I hope so, mabitla (cemetery) a tletse tuu
Was South Africa ready for food contamination?
CORRECTION: The headline and details of this story have been corrected. The correct story says: 'SA well-resourced to cope with any outbreak of coronavirus: WHO'
The same complacency mbeki showed with hiv/aids is being shown again here about the coronavirus. Let's refuse them the chance to play Russian roulette with our lives again. S Africans we are too docile for our own good. & we'd be stupid to leave our health into the hands of anc
ParliamentofRSA PresidencyZA
We can't even deal with polony n pilchards
Is That A Wonder!! Thanks To The cANCer!!!!!
Yet the president wants them to come home
Benji_Seitlhamo Prepared or not, the virus is on the way. We have to be ready for masks in few days.
And then the president want to bring the people from China here. Suicidal or ignorant?
africaupdates This Coronavirus has taken the world by surprise. The virus deserve some respect bcs it has shown us how vulnerable and unprepared we are. It has also shown us that the whole world is a single village. The earth population are brothers of the same house.
Benji_Seitlhamo Okay , can we at least take preventative measures rather. We strict controls over transfers in and out of this country .
Impossible Our health minister said we were prepared...just to prove it hes going to fetch our people in China...what could possibly go wrong
We don't have a simple panado,how can we deal with corona virus? We are only prepared to for tenders which are used in looting.
What?! Really?! Would never have thought that....🙄
Show me one country in the world that is prepared? Just one.
I wonder if their not part of this world'?
While Ramaphosa is rushing to repatriate South African from China
Tjo tjo tjo ai sizihlalele nje 🤦
Have they spoken to our Miinister of Health. According to him, we are well prepared. Who to believe, WHO or the Minister?. Perplexing indeed.
We are only ready for looting
This is Obviass mos!🤷🏾♂️🤔
As if we're surprised.
We are never prepared for anything but corruption.
