Coronavirus | “If you refuse to test, isolate or quarantine, it’s considered a breach of guidelines and a criminal offence.”

Health MEC Bandile Masuku took action based on regulations related to the surveillance and the control of notifiable medical conditions in the National Health Act, passed in 2017.

De Vos said everyone had an obligation to get tested and if results returned positive, the courts could intervene.

A report that suggest that one could be coronavirus positive but not show any symptoms is fucken scary. The government needs to roll out coronavirus testing centers, quickly.

So how can the poor who stay in a small house with more than 5 people self quarantine themselves. Ain't there be supposed to be hospitals or something dedicated to cater for such people who tested positive?!
