Minimal risk is still a risk!!!

I don't trust anything the government says...

It poses minimal risk until it becomes an epidemic because we have no care for details.

Chinese ambassador's recent premature utterances about SAs assumed preparedness to deal with the virus before SA officially spoke on it indicates pressure from Berlin to Pretoria to 'come get your people!'. myanc GovernmentZA wouldn't have done it otherwise. It's not a tender!
