South Africa Rolls Out Mobile Testing In Virus Lockdown

South African public healthcare workers dispersed into the buzzing streets of Johannesburg’s Yeoville neighbourhood as Africa’s worst virus-hit country rolled out mass door-to-door testing for COVID-19.

“They’ve been coming for screening and they are even open to testing if they have symptoms,” Dlomo said. South Africa has so far reported nine deaths and 1,585 infections, but Health Minister Zweli Mkhize has warned that the relatively small growth in numbers was perhaps “the calm before a heavy and devastating storm”.

“It is a little bit uncomfortable but you’ve got to be strong… because you want to know exactly what is going on with you,” Moshone, wrapped in a green, gold and black scarf, said after his sample was taken. It reminds him of the early 1990s when HIV first emerged in the country, which now has the world’s highest HIV prevalence rate.

World Health Organisation technical officer Mary Stephen told AFP that based on how the virus has spread through other countries, governments are urged to scale up public awareness, surveillance and medical care.
