He also tweeted: “10,000 health workers already deployed and more will be trained to support the South Africa Covid-19 response. I join President Cyril Ramaphosa’s appreciation of all health professionals who are supporting the response and keeping their nation safe from the coronavirus”.

In a televised speech on Monday, Ramaphosa called on all residents in South Africa to adhere to the 21-day lockdown regulation in a bid to arrest the rapid spread of Covid-19. "We are entering a new phase, in the coming days government will be rolling out screening, testing on a huge scale. Health workers will be visiting villages and towns to test people for Covid-19," he said.

"Around 10,000 field workers will be visiting homes in villages, towns and cities to screen residents for Covid-19 symptoms. People with symptoms will be referred to local clinics or mobile clinics for testing. "People who are infected with coronavirus, but who have no or moderate symptoms will remain in isolation at home or at a facility provided by government and those with severe symptoms will be transferred to hospitals."* For the latest on the Covid-19 outbreak visit IOL's
