Zweli Mkhize on coronavirus: 'What are we fearing? We are ready to deal with it'

He said it was unlikely to infect others if one did not have the symptoms. Mkhize said once patients were treated and tests came back negative, they could go back to their daily lives.Mkhize said there had been no confirmed cases of infected South Africans in Wuhan, China.

“Some are now pulling out and saying they do not to want to come back. We will bring back those who want to come back and leave those who want to stay, it is not a problem. “There is no reason to worry about those who are coming back to SA. There is no risk of infection to the local community and we will make sure of that. Our health professionals are fairly competent,” he said.in the country after the wife of the first man to be diagnosed with the coronavirus in SA also tested positive.

Easy talk, there is no capacity in SA to handle this outbreak.

The clinic's leave a lot off room for improvement!

Klerksdorp hospital. First case. Person from Vryburg. Follow up

Eh!!!!!

He must also tell what to do with him should one South African be infected.

I don't worry about le Corona yenu coz I can't even afford a bus ticket let alone plane ticket

We are dead🙆

If you coming back from the likes of China..Italy etc..just quarantine yourself if you love your people..Please

Those coming back from affected areas should just quarantine themselves..period. Some start getting ill days after their arrival..and by that time they would have infected their family members who in turn would infect others. Don't risk people's lives

Eskom said the same thing... Now we having Loadshedding

'fairly competent'?

Minister must stop patronising and underestimate the danger posed bt the disease

Lying as usual!!

'Fairly' we are death, just look at public hospitals...

Who is that fairly competent?

'Fairly competent' ='60% competent...maybe'

Fairly competent. Wow. Thats a standard i always look for in a medical professional.

This is not a joke. Please take every care as possible dont leave anything to chance and cheep talk. the worst inconvenience when 1 is sick is to go to our falling down hospitals

'Fairly competent'

SA goverment hospitals dont have water and toilet paper in the toilets .... what are we ready for Do you even understand how bad its can get here if this shit for the begining will infect 1000 people ?

'Fairly' 🙄

We are led by 🤡

Competent of treatment or preventing...... This zweli guy doesn't take us serious xem......

Have they stated ‘fairly competent’ that’s scary

Then he must go & personally welcome them at the airport.

Health Dept keeps trying to reassure SA prepared for outbreak ... yet they are barely able to assist us at clinics (dr once a week & couple of sisters on duty) and hospitals run out of medication (supplier issues). Staff treat patients with no decency or consideration

I smell emergency funding which will never be used for those it will be intended for...an opportunity to grow their pockets

lyt_moon

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. We're governed by imbeciles. Why self quarantine if someone is tested positive?
