President Cyril Ramaphosa has declared that South Africa is ready and prepared to deal with any cases of the coronavirus.

Ramaphosa on Thursday urged South Africans to remain calm shortly after the government announced the first confirmed Covid-19 case in the country.

The group of 10, which included the infected man, entered the country via OR Tambo International Airport, where scanners were unable to pick up any Covid-19 symptoms from him. The group took another flight to King Shaka International Airport in KwaZulu-Natal. COVID-19 has spread to many countries across the world, with one such case now having been reported in South Africa. Graphic: African News Agency

Mkhize said the scanners at the airport were unable to detect the virus because the man didn't show symptoms when he landed.
