No coronavirus case reported in SA but we are ready – health minister

“I want to ensure South Africans that to date, there is no confirmed case of the coronavirus in South Africa. If there was any, we would have been able to confirm a diagnosis as we have the facilities to do so.

Mkhize said two South Africans were under the coronavirus quarantine, in China, where the virus was first detected last month, after the country’s WHO office received cases of pneumonia in Wuhan, the capital of central China’s Hubei province. “We are aware that two South Africans are currently under 14-day quarantine in Tianjin, after they were moved from Wuhan for observation.”

How we trust a gov that fails stop illegal immigrants from 'walking' into the country that it can detect a virus or stop it from spreading?

Germany has just detected 4 cases who showed no symptoms. They say it takes a while for symptoms to show. What if we a similar situation here.

Wynberg family living in Wuhan hoping SA government will assist with evacuation | Cape TimesThe once-busy city of Wuhan in China has been described as a ghost town by a Wynberg family living in the town, which remains on lockdown following the outbreak of the coronavirus. It would certainly be foolhardy for the SA government to evacuate the few South Africans in Wuhan-the Chinese authorities are best placed to look after them rather than them coming back and risk introducing the virus to an ill prepared government!
