Gauteng Education MEC Lesufi tests positive for Covid-19
The Gauteng Department Education (GDE) has announced that Member of the Executive Council (MEC) Panyaza Lesufi tested positive for Covid-19.
“The MEC is in isolation and receiving treatment after having tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday,” says spokesperson Steve Mabona.
Mabona says Lesufi felt unwell on Thursday night and struggled to breathe, which prompted him to test for Covid-19.
“In addition to being previously vaccinated, he is currently self-isolating in his home and feeling better subsequent to him experiencing COVID-19 symptoms before testing.”
Mabona added that those who have come into contact with the MEC before Friday are urged to test for Covid-19.
“We wish to advise people who had been in contact with MEC Lesufi prior to him testing positive for COVID-19 to either monitor themselves for any flu-like symptoms or go get tested accordingly.”
