The Young Nurses Indaba Trade Union is calling on the government to effect a travel ban to “adequately” deal with the pandemic.

YNITU says if government fails effect a travel ban, it will withdraw the labour of its nurses from the front line. “We have heard of nurses from a clinic in Sedibeng who came in contact with a person who was confirmed to have the virus. The patient went to the clinic and was referred to a hospital but at the hospital, the patient was discharged and was told its just minor flu. This is despite the patient having indicated that they had come in contact with a person from Italy. The patient later came back and it was only during that time that they diagnosed them and put them into isolation,” says YNITU.

That’s not rocket science!! even nations with lower infection rate of the virus have adopted the policy of banning travels from hardest hit countries.

Our government is useless,all reported COVID19 in the country are imported,yet they still think it’s early for travel ban, MYANC really want to kill us🤮🤭🙄

Our so government/president he only care about the economy over our lives. He failed to fixed the economy 🤷🏽‍♂️ so why he prioritising it now?

Thy should HV done dat long time ago

We calling for total shut down

I wonder why do we have to toytoy for travel ban

Our leaders need to take some decisive decisions and stopped being 'ooMabena'.

Government needs to limit public gatherings since we already have cases of domestic infections. Don’t take chances, see how the UK numbers are still on the rise and Boris is not acting. Learn from China, Italy, America, Scotland and England.
