Isipingo Hospital, however, has said it followed protocol and that the National Institute for Communicable Diseases recommended those who had been in contact with the doctor immediately isolate but only be tested if they had presented symptoms.

The following day the doctor called to check on her daughter and to inform her that the anaesthetist, who had also seen to her daughter, had tested positive for the coronavirus. The ambulance arrived and paramedics had contacted several hospitals, including Isipingo Hospital, but none accepted her daughter after hearing that she had been exposed to the virus.“I have tried everything to have my daughter and I tested. I have called all the numbers that people with suspected cases should phone, but only to be told to self-isolate and only contact them if we have the symptoms. How do I self-isolate in a house with five people living in it?” she said.
