The Health Minister said no country could prevent COVID-19 from entering its shores and his department had done its best to ensure that the virus was contained.

HILTON - Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said the arrival of the coronavirus in the country was not a sign of government's failure to protect citizens.

Mkhize said criticism of his department after the country reported its first case of the virus on Thursday was unwarranted and ignorant. He made the statement while addressing the media in Hilton in KwaZulu-Natal where the first case of the virus has been diagnosed.— EWN Reporter March 6, 2020 Mkhize said no country could prevent COVID-19 from entering its shores.“We have confirmed just the one case in two months and we are one of the few countries to have done that. Eighty-six countries to date to have this virus but we are among the last ones.

“It is those communities, those parents, those children and health workers, the media and governments officials from all departments and South Africans all over the country that must make sure we defeat this virus." Mkhize said over 300 people in the country had been tested for the virus so far and only one person had tested positive.

Government can not be blamed for everything that goes wrong in Mzantsi until covert 19 becomes an outspread that can not be contained then maybe that when we can blame our government for not executing proper preventive measures ppl mus just practice proper hygiene✋🏽✋🏽
