The Times / Halden Krog

Gautrain confirmed on Tuesday that an executive who travelled from France — and interacted with staff at the Bombela Operating Company offices in Midrand as well as Gautrain stations — had tested positive for Covid-19. “We ... want to use the opportunity to advise that on Sunday afternoon [March 15] the Bombela Operating Company was informed that a business unit director who visited the BOC offices in Midrand between 12 and 14 March has subsequently tested positive for Covid-19,” Gautrain management said in a statement on Tuesday.

“During his visit, he also visited the Gautrain Park and Sandton stations. He travelled to SA from France and is currently in self-isolation.”The company said as a precautionary measure all of those who had been in close contact with him had been traced and advised to remain in self-isolation.“On Sunday night [March 15] the BOC office, Sandton and Park stations were chemically decontaminated.

As talks continue with employees and union representatives about health safety, Gautrain management said it had moved to ensure that workers and employees who found themselves at risk of exposure would be advised to self-isolate, without losing any benefits. Their employers would cover testing costs.Hand sanitisers are available at all stations. Handrails, doors and toilets at stations are being cleaned regularly.

Those he was on the plane with? Restaurants? Home? And and? Its a mess.

Are we still at no 61 or our government lost count?
