Meanwhile, 114 South Africans arrived in South Africa from Wuhan, China on Saturday and they are quarantined in The Ranch Resort in Polokwane, Limpopo.
The virus is rapidly spreading globally and also on the African continent. This is worrisome considering that most countries in developing countries do not have strong health systems which can prevent and or contain the pandemic.
The number of African countries that have reported cases of the virus on Saturday rose to 20 after Rwanda, Namibia and eSwatini confirmed their first cases.
