Health Minister Zweli Mkhize has confirmed that the number of travellers who have tested positive for Covid-19 has risen to three.

“The first passenger subsequently took ill and remains in isolation at a health care facility,
whilst the other two passengers are currently asymptomatic and in isolation at paid lodgings,” said Mkhize.
Contact tracing has also begun for the crew members who tested positive on board a ship in Durban.
Fourteen crew members on Eaubonne vessel that arrived in Durban from India on Sunday tested positive for Covid-19.
“As all the members are asymptomatic, it was elected to keep all the crew on board in appropriate quarantine or isolation conditions. The vessel has been secured and is currently under strict security in its berth until authorities decide to move it to the outer anchorage understrict security until the containment period is successfully completed,” Mkhize said.
