National Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize is appealing to South Africans to change their behaviour towards Covid19.

Durban - National Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize is appealing to South Africans to change their behaviour towards Covid-19.

"But government cannot manage this unilaterally. Every single South African now needs to focus on adhering to recommendations pertaining to non-pharmaceutical interventions. We are extremely concerned that fatigue seems to have set in and South Africans are letting down their guard at a time when the spread of infection is surging," Mkhize said.

In a statment issued on Sunday, Mkhize warned that at this stage, there is no vaccine or cure for Covid-19.
