South Africa Headlines News

Only trusted sources of media should be taken seriously when it comes to news about COVID-19

The first confirmed case in South Africa has caused anxiety for many people at home and abroad.

We have top-notch surveillance systems and world-class experts that have been tested before. These teams are working closely with all our partners, including the National Department of Health, the City, the private sector, port health and the Airports Company SA to make sure that we are prepared.A plan of action is in place that kicked in as soon as the first South African case was registered.

In order to address this challenge, we have to make sure that only credible information on this virus is spread. These are trusted sources of information and I appeal to residents to use official channels of communication, rather than to rely on nameless WhatsApp messages and videos being circulated by people with no medical background.

If you have travelled, or have been in contact with someone who has travelled and feel like you are displaying symptoms, visit a doctor or medical facility and be honest with the healthcare worker about where you have been and your symptoms.
