What they had to do with number not growing up? Keep those in the the affected countries there, we don't have any land to keep them away so they cannot affect those who keep their country.

MusiqWorks Yip they’re doing this thing on purpose!!

Sophie_Mokoena This is a disaster and surely by now more than the reported 7 have contracted the CoronaVirusSA. Are our Public Health establishments ready though? 🤔

The fact that they were counting makes all this looks questionable honestly

And all we gonna get is 'do not panic'😔

Country of Drunkards

Black people you are on your own

government why you still allowing people from abroad to come here and spread virus we see everything why you doing it or this the way of decreasing the populatin

This seems to effect people who are 38 🤔🤣🤣🤣 thank god I'm not even 30 yet

AldrinSampear Luckys number 38

I don't understand why this people went to italy at the first place knowing aczatly that the is corona virus there agh

After two months, when thousands would be infected, they gonna be on tv telling us how they regret not acting soon enough. Our gov is useless. We are in no capacity to deal with thousands of infection cases, yet they haven't initiated a ban on travel.

That health Minister sounds he is liking this. He z not taking some precautionally measures, but announcing the Attack.

Bloody rich people getting us killed

It is spreading like wild fire soon we will be nr one in the world

Ku rough

Cc PhutiKhomo

Its also confirmed 80% recovery rate

AldrinSampear Well resources and developed countries are doing more than just announcing number of cases; they are banning gatherings, travelings etc. without being negative WE MIGHT BE THE HARDEST HIT bcoz we are doing very little to prevent this CV.

The way south Africa is so careless, we can end up on first position of this corona virus. The only thing you hear from our government is not to panic..

All this because of 10 people

So people who got into contact with these 10 travelers do not know themselves? They have their own contacts too which will also be traced ? Contacts with their contacts that have got their contacts also? Hhay' maan😒😥

And those ppl they contacted also contacted with others and those others also contacted with others the list goes on.

The mood on the ground

AldrinSampear But how did they miss this at the airport ORThamboAirport or is it KingShakaAport since we’ve been told that we have screening at all SA’s ports of entry...COVID19 ? sabcnews morninglive question

I'm already locked down in my house enough water and food for 5 years

AldrinSampear This is really sad. How many more chain contacts we can surely depicts ...this is getting so real and the only strategic plan of prevention from our government is 'no need to panic' or 'use normal hygienic etiquette' ... God help us all, especially we the poor of the poorest🙏

Why can't they see its better to close schools early before the spread is too wide to curb!? Why allow infected people access to others before they act!? Is it that difficult to see this is foolish!?

It's scary

Wow hell in a cell, we are trapped 😭😭

So 113 people possibly are carriers unaware? Infected in oblivion🙆🏾‍♂️. Those folks are going around meeting others.... thus South Africa is coronaZone klaar🤷🏾‍♂️. Aw Jesus! Help us. Coronavirussouthafrica

And that makes it 100. Could it be coincidental or there is something cooking here? How can it be so balanced? Was that a target?

Zuma would say take a shower

Our government is failing us as experted this Ramaphosa regime is useless. We want Zuma back now. Msholozi thatha umshini wakho baba!

Its spreading slowly

We mustn't panic they say but looking at the trend of all those they got contact with telling us not to panic is a problem. This will be realised when more people are infected with Coronavirus

Release their identities we wanna know who they are...

I'm really worried about this increasing number of cases of Corona Virus in South Africa, but our government seems to ignore the number and keep on saying we must not panic Coronavirus CoronavirusOutbreak Coronavirus Sabcnewsunfiltered UnFiltered

Coronavirus here in South in South Africa we dont catch silly things🙄ask AKA

If they University of Pretoria stops the biometrics system what about the banks and the ATM machines? Yaa we in big trouble

38 year olds beware 🙈

tjo latle lare paint'a ka red as if we are hotspots to look out for when you wanna hide from CoronavirusInSA he.e tlhe sabcnews

CyrilRamaphosa is failing us, people who are coming from foreign countries must be tested and kept in one place for at least 1week while tests are being done daily. Stop massaging foreigners at our expense just because they have wealth, no!

So the screening process at the ports of entry are not working?

38 year old are one ☝🏿 with corona.

I am just worried about the estimates on 'contact'. Those contacts could have contacted other contacts that contacted other...

What is the plan for high risk zones?

Is SA ready to avoid this virus mara?

And the next thing we are going to be told don't worry everything is under control..... our government is useless shem

Tomorrow it's gonna be 12
