The minister was speaking on the sidelines of the launch of new mobile testing units, which will go out into identified hotspots as government changes tack by taking an offensive approach to dealing with the coronavirus.
Mkhize has credited the slower increase of known infections to the closure of the country's borders and the elimination of public gatherings through the nationwide lockdown. This may be the calm before a heavy and devastating storm. We may not get further warnings before the pounding descends.“This may be the calm before a heavy and devastating storm,” he said. “We may not get further warnings before the pounding descends.”
“Up until now, the testing criteria of patients with symptoms has been reactive and restrictive — you have to show up with symptoms in order to be tested,” he said.
I think they either have no idea what the real numbers are or they are covering up their failure ay this current lockdown. The trend has changed to drastically for this country.
And the govt has given in to the pressure and relaxed the lockdown measures,kuzonyiwa struu
YES - And there your people go relaxing Lock down rules!
Uthini ngok? Ministerofhealth
It's all about testing. How many people have we tested and is their lag in results.

Thank G-d, he understands what we are up against.. unfortunately the masses don't have a clue.

MthembuOzzie We want cigarettes
Yeah coz Mbalula wants taxis to operate as normal.
DrZweliMkhize what do you mean by this 'storm'? Ngicela uyicacise kabanzi!
Symptoms of sassa recipients will start showing in numbers very soon and also people who were going around without masks and not adhering to the rules and regulations,Minister has a point and some will want to attcack him as usual.
Possible, with the transport ministry bowing down to the taxi industry and amending regulations for them. Ticking time bomb
What about the fact that the way testing has been happening misses many that don’t fit criteria, yet may be carriers?
Thixo🙆♂️
Lol, the taxis own you Minister.
I pray that things don't escalate, especially for the poor people!
MthembuOzzie This minister said ppl should not spread fake news but gives them a platform and why is he expecting the worst unless he knows something we don't...
