njani i kits zilimited

Im ready

Ka hohlola😷

I'm not sure about me getting tested

He only realizes now after the ignorance he had.....he's too late

True then the minister can give us the stats to 60% of the population is infected. I don't what to call it but is misleading

Seriously? This man astounds me🙈🙈

And they only thought of this when? Bloody idiots

A medical o teng mo Africa Borwa

Where are we supposed to get this R1200

Ekugqibeleni

What? When was there a time when we weren't going to test more South Africans? These guys have no capacity to act on anything in the real world. Again more empty words. We ask, where are the testing centres, where do we go, where do we call etc?

Whats the use of testing us? Just to have statistics? You guys dont have cure for this so let it be if i have it will cure it self then why u all want to know and after do fokol about it?

Hope we All gonna test for FREE

All well and good but my husband has been waiting for a week to get his results back ( not the 24-48 hrs reported). Lancet sent him a message stating that they have an ever increasing backlog and he must download some stupid app that doesn’t pick up his ID. So now what?

We need leadership in this crisis but SouthAfrica only have followers and they even can't grasp that concept!

The number of infections is bout to jump to 1K by next week

They want us to pay R1800 (consultation fee and test)... Madness

He only realizes that now? They should.have rolled out testing and masks to ALL Government Clinics and declared it compulsory to wear a mask to those who.are COUGHING! Our government is too slow and not.taking this virus seriously. They are waiting for people to start dying like

I saw on the news that KZN ZIONIST SHIT PASTOR saying they will do the gathering of more than than 100 people, I was expecting DrZweliMkhize to act as soon as possible because I think that guy doesn't care abt his people and some of us who will contact with them afterwards

Should have been done long ago. And I hope it's free DrZweliMkhize

Free or Coz no money up in here

With what test kits?

Covid_19 NICD and CoronaVirusUpdate CoronavirusInSA CoronaVirusUpdate Covid19SADrZweliMkhize IS THERE STATS PER DAY ON A GRAPH THAT CAN SHOW US HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TESTED ON A DAILY BASIS OVER THE PAST 5 DAYS PER PROVINCE AND WHAT WAS THE TARGET PER DAY?

Why so late

First of all they need to inform ALL the people of all races about the risk of being infected and that all people of all races can get Covid-19. Yesterday, I was so schocked when my cleaning lady told me she could not get it because she has a dark skin, so no washing is necessary

Mina I want to test

That's amazing. Can that insightfulness translate into action on the ground pse. People are actually going to designated places to be tested without success.

Plz start at the clinics and hospitals with the nurses and doctors

Talking is what they are good at😤

Time to ensure supermarkets issue gloves, masks to their employees. reactnow

Mina I'm confused you can be positive then after some few hours you become negative 🤔... What's that mara

My fellow south africans lets get tested

For free i hope asinayo wampoythu

Mna andizi Shem 🚮🚮🚮 . The Best way not to Get infected By Corona Virus is simply Not to test for it..

How many cases now DrZweliMkhize ?

Currently we don't have a cure nor vaccine to treat corona but infected people are recovering kanjani plz help me understand mzansi

But we have a big problem at our areas.Yesterday my partner was released from her work &told to go & see the GP.Because we couldn't afford the money to go to the private doctor,we decided to go to the public clinic here in was at round about 12:20.

MthembuMyekeni No I don't want to test I'm OK

The test kits might be “free”, but the actually analysis work is the part that costs money. People need to isolate. Problem is, you might test negative today and then catch it from some gross coughing person tomorrow. Just because you test negative doesn’t make you safe.

Not more, but all... wat do u think? And free of charge👈🏼

China has donated test kits at least

We will appreciate mobile clinics, like they do with HIV test malls, ranks etc

While OR Tambo is a freeway

What like random traffic pull overs 🤔

Queen_Viv_ is he being irrational or is he finally acknowledging what is necessary, what is paramount?

Re kopa do free test I have been sneezing since this Corona outbreak hle,

And he’s only realizing that now.

But that is why the German Ambassador and Jack Ma donated kits. To test. We can use the money Mzwandile Masina has set aside for Cuba too.Lets get going.

For free at different clinics and taxi ranks neh?

The criteria for testing currently makes it easier to spread the virus if you have Hospitals are testing only those who have traveled to High risk countries or been in contact with positive tested person. DrZweliMkhize must do more sounds like prioritize certain class of people

For free?

About '97%' of Covid-19 patients from private sector: MkhizeHealth minister Zweli Mkhize is worried about what would happen if the coronavirus started spreading through SA's vulnerable communities. Lungus That in itself explains that Covid_19 was brought by the middle and upper class Hang on a minute..... A doctor went abroad, came back, did not self-quarantine, went about his daily tasks (operating... seeing patients...) and then tested positive a few days later? A DOCTOR? I am absolutely mortified.
