Presidency: Ramaphosa ‘in good spirits’ as he fights Covid infection
President Cyril Ramaphosa is said to be making good progress in his recovery from Covid-19.
Ramaphosa tested positive for the viral infection on Sunday.
The Presidency revealed on Friday that the head of state continues to receive treatment for mild symptoms.
“The President started self-isolation in Cape Town on the same day, with the South African Medical Health Service of the South African National Defence Force monitoring and treating the President,” said Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele.
“The President is in good spirits and comfortable in his recovery.”
Gungubele added government’s plea to remain cautious during the festive season as the country continues to battle a fourth wave of Covid infections.
“This will help save lives, reduce the need for hospital admissions, allow businesses to remain open and enable people to work and earn an income.
“Risky or careless behaviour will endanger public health and economic activity, neither of which the country can afford during this important period for the retail and tourism sectors,” Gungubele said.
Despite concerns, the country remains under level 1 lockdown with the National Coronavirus command Council expected to review the regulations against in the coming week.
