Disembarking passengers don masks at Cape Town International Airport on March 6 2020 amid fears of the coronavirus outbreak.The health ministry has moved to clarify that people travelling from China, but not from Wuhan city or Hubei province, are allowed into SA.
“The World Health Organisation has maintained there is no restriction on travel or trade with China since the outbreak. Be that as it may, no-one is allowed to purchase a ticket to leave China without having undergone a screening process to ensure there is no risk of a traveller leaving China who may have come into contact with the virus,” she said.
Manzi said these people were screened for the coronavirus when they left China and again when they arrived in SA. “These travellers do not need to be placed under quarantine when they return to SA and no-one should be pressurised to self-quarantine when they return home,” she said. Meanwhile, the South African government is yet to repatriate South African nationals who are living under lockdown conditions in Wuhan.
