Health Minister Zweli Mkhize announced that the total number of deaths from Covid-19 in South Africa had risen to 25, with the total number of infections so far at 2,028, an increase of 25 from Friday.

The minister expressed hope that people who had been infected once with the coronavirus would not get infected again. Interestingly, he revealed that they had not yet discovered a patient who was both HIV positive and infected with the coronavirus, so it was not yet known if the combination would be very serious.

“KZN has a high death toll, more than six patients have died from one institution. We need to get into why this is so. We have now decided the hospital needs to be closed down and an investigation needs to be launched. “The disease is new, so we act as we learn. As we speak now we have records of research. People who exhale air while wearing a mask that are infected reduce the spread of the infection.”“The number of new infections is not increasing as much as it would’ve been. The borders have also been closed preventing new imported infections.”

Mkhize also advised that those people going to a private doctor or private lab for a test would have to pay for themselves.To pledge your support to the solidarity fund , please donate using these details
