JOHANNESBURG - Health Minister Zweli Mkhize on Saturday warned that people who refused to comply with quarantine regulations following the confirmation of two COVID-19 cases in South Africa could be taken to court.
The second patient is a 39-year-old lady from Gauteng who had direct contact with the first case from KZN. She was part of the group of 10 that had travelled to Italy.“If someone doesn’t cooperate we have a way of making sure that we will even take the matter to court to get them to comply with the quarantine regulations,” Mkhize said in an interview with Eyewitness News.
Mkhize said the second patient to test positive for coronavirus would be admitted to Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital. He said more details of her well-being will be divulged in due course.
We're governed by imbeciles. Why self quarantine if someone is tested positive?
Oh my God. So a bunch of white people are refusing to be quarantined under the department of health in public hospitals. How teethles can ya'll be but i guess you were never ready for this. And still you hide their identities and threaten to charge a black woman for claiming to.
