Four South Africans left behind in Wuhan

Four South African citizens have had to remain in the Chinese city of Wuhan following a government repatriation effort as they displayed symptoms of the coronavirus. 

The Minister of Health Zweli Mkhize said the four were not infected and that everyone who returned to South Africa had tested negative for the virus. 

On Saturday over 100 citizens were flown home and are now being quarantined at a hotel in Limpopo province. 

The minister added that two repatriated citizens had developed a mild cough on arrival but assured the public that it was nothing to worry about and that they were being isolated.
