Limpopo doctor recovers from coronavirus
Limpopo is currently having 13 covid -19 cases.
POLOKWANE – The Limpopo government’s first case of Coronavirus has fully recovered and has now tested negative. The 28 year old doctor was the province’s first confirmed case.
The MEC of health Phophi Ramathuba commended the doctor’s self-discipline because he immediately self-quarantined after his return from overseas and also self-isolated after testing positive.
After his self-isolation period, he has tested negative and he is ready to be integrated back to society.
This must also give hope to the community to say, if we do what is right, we can contain the spread of this disease,” said Ramathuba.
Meanwhile, Limpopo Province is now sitting at 13 laboratory confirmed Covid – 19 cases including the recovered doctor. Sekhukhune is the only district with no covid -19 cases. Of all the cases, Limpopo has only one case which is suspected to be a local transmission.
Further investigations are still being done to ascertain this.
The MEC has also called on the people of Limpopo to exercise maximum discipline during this period of lockdown.
The MEC says lockdown is the hope of the country to arrest the spread of the virus.
“Our people must adhere to the rules of this lockdown because this is the only way we can be able to contain the spread of the virus. We are already recording deaths in other provinces and that must knock sense to many of us to say if we are not vigilant enough by doing what is right, soon we will be seeing deaths in our doorstep,” added Ramathuba.
