This is according to health minister Zweli Mkhize, who on Wednesday warned that with the flu season approaching, it was inevitable that the number of coronavirus infections would skyrocket.

He said people experiencing flu symptoms were expected to flood hospitals and clinics from next month which will create a fertile ground for coronavirus to spread.

“So we need to be aware that there may not be further warnings before the pounding descends. So there will be no time to prepare what we have not already put in place. Particularly in the next seven days we need every plan to be put in place.” These mobile clinics would ensure that the country’s screening and testing capacity is increased from 5,000 to 30,000 in 24 hours.He said that the mobile clinics would be prioritised to areas, especially townships, where there have been positive cases and places where there are possible contacts.
