Durban - More than 300 people have been tested for coronavirus in South Africa, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said.
The parent, who had been part of a group of 10 on a group trip to Italy, had arrived at King Shaka International Airport, having travelled to South Africa via Dubai. The other nine had all been tracked down and tested while quarantined in their homes, he said. A report from Nedbank said an employee in Durban who had been on the Italy trip had come into contact with business associates at two separate meetings.
Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu, who also addressed reporters, said the doctor who tested the man who had tested positive had not had the necessary gear when she conducted the test and was not aware of what she was dealing with until the results came back.She added that the person being tested at hospital in Verulam had entered the country from India.
“In cases like this, the National Institute of Communicable Diseases gets involved and while patients can choose private hospital treatment, NICD can recommend the treatment to manage the condition. McHugh went on to say that private hospitals had to follow NICD protocols to admit members. Discovery has reportedly created a benefit that will provide cover to pay for diagnostics as well as treatment in and out of hospital.
Wow! And no one seems to think this is an issue..... no one is talking about it.... nedbank ?
Is the KZN coronavirussa patient an employee of Nedbank ? Earlier reports said he had been in contact with Nedbank staff. Now it seems he is a staff member. So he wasn’t self isolated when he got home from Italy. Was he? You HealthZA are playing games and lying. Stop.
