“Yes she tested and her results came back negative. All her staff are in self-isolation as we needed to sanitise the office,” her spokesperson, Lunga Ngqengele, said. “Yes, we can confirm that minister Dlodlo travelled to Oyo in the past two weeks and upon learning of the person travelling with them testing positive, she took the decision to self-isolate and test for the virus,” her spokesperson, Mava Scott, said.

On Thursday, the presidency confirmed that President Cyril Ramaphosa tested negative for Covid-19, a day before the country is expected to go on lockdown. Both Dlodlo and Pandor are part of the national command council led by Ramaphosa, which is dealing with the government’s response to the outbreak.
