How to take precautions with possibly infected or confirmed Covid-19 members in household

“Identify frequently touched surfaces by the ill persons, clean and disinfect them daily.”

Msukaligwa Municipality shared information on their Facebook page about home care for people with suspected or confirmed Covid-19, on 6 April.

  • All members of the household:

“When coughing or sneezing, ensure to cover your mouth and nose with a flexed elbow or use a disposable tissue and discard immediately.”

“Avoid unnecessary exposure to an ill person and avoid sharing items, such as eating utensils, dishes, drinks and towels.”

  • For caregivers:

“Identify frequently touched surfaces by the ill persons, clean and disinfect them daily.”

Stringent protocols in place:

As your local news provider, we have the duty of keeping you factually informed on Covid-19 developments.

Local newsrooms follow a strict pre-publication fact-checking protocol.

A national task team has been established to assist in bringing you credible news reports on Covid-19.
