14-day quarantine period for South Africans repatriated from Wuhan ends

Blade Nzimande says says that his department will be responsible for transporting students from the group to their respective homes.

The department has also sent a circular to all colleges requesting that all students returning from abroad be placed under quarantine. Two of the students tested positive for Tuberculosis. “I am in discussions with Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, Stella Ndabeni Abrahams, on how to deal with access to data for expansion of online learning,” the minister further said in the statement.

The department has also requested all universities to complete an updated survey on their IT capabilities to offer online learning. The department has started to analyse the survey to identify institutions that require assistance. A joint CSIR and Department of Health team is working on creating a range of data warehouses including the current geographic spread of the disease, current cases, health vulnerabilities, and location of health and other facilities, amongst others.

we have not seen any police or army patrolling our area in the city of cape town zonnebloem and have now been robbed twice and it's only day 2 of the lockdown. Where are the police? No one is making sure we are safe at a crucial time like this!

The teacher from Wuhan who emigrated from South Africa to work in China is a living example of a clever woman. She stayed and all her problems were solved there.

And now for another 21 in SA.

Why don’t you keep them till lockdown ?

Where are they going after quarantine? We are still in fear at home Covid-19.

Big problem is when lockdown ends & learners/students millions return 2 school. Big shortage of masks,gloves,sanitizers 4 working&struggling classes. Will be a big infection problem at schools. CORPORATES,GOVT, NGOS, EXPORTS etc. HAVE GRABBED THESE SUPPLIES leaving nothing 4 us

Since it's Lockdown period, they might as well stay there for the remaining period hence the law barricades any unnecessary movement from one place to another so their stay in there is more than welcome.

They had it good there at the 5 star Ranch Resort. Unlike us now, they got to play golf, walk or run the grounds (staying 3m away from each other), 3 gourmet meals a day. Who wouldn’t want to be in isolation like they were?

AfricaRepublic Ey these folks they were crying while in China they will cry again to back to China bonce they learn that we have it here

I would not wanna leave that quarantine place at this moment

Good. Now they can join us in 20 more days of isolation.

Atleast now they will be with their families. Well done SA
