Coronavirus case confirmed in Alexandra
The Gauteng Department of Health says five people from Alexandra are under quarantine after coming into contact with a Limpopo man who tested positive for coronavirus.
This comes a mere 24 hours after a coronavirus case was confirmed in Khayelitsha township in the Western Cape.
In a statement, the department says the confirmed case was tested and instructed to remain under self-isolation while awaiting results.
"Upon positive confirmation of results, our team of tracers working with law enforcement agencies tracked the confirmed case to Limpopo.
"He had disregarded an instruction and travelled outside of the province last week before the lockdown. He is currently under isolation in a health facility in Limpopo," the department’s Kwara Kekana says.
