ZweliMkhize: If the children are positive for #Coronavirus then the other children in the class need to be tested too. #BrandwagPrimary #CoronaVirusUpdate

ZweliMkhize: If you test positive for #Coronavirus there is no cure. You can however treat the symptoms #BrandwagPrimary #CoronavirusUpdates

#ZweliMkhize: There is no need to panic. You need to understand how #Coronavirus works. This virus will affect many people.

#ZweliMkhize: The important thing to note is we can contain and deal with #Coronavirus if society cooperates. There is nothing wrong with performing your religious obligations at home for the safety of yourself and others.

#ZweliMkhize: #COVID19 originated from animals and is now found in human beings. People get the virus by being in close proximity with someone who has #Coronavirus

#ZweliMkhize: 80% of those infected will experience a mild form of the virus. It doesn’t mean if you have #COVID19 you are definitely going to die.

#ZweliMkhize: When you have symptoms , we will test you. If you test positive for #COVID19 you need to stay home and self -quarantine for 14 days.

#ZweliMkhize: If you have children that are negative for #coronavirus and you are positive, you should keep them at home for the 14 days. If the children are positive, we will test the children in the same class as them #COVID19 #BrandwagPrimary

#ZweliMkhize: Do not create a stigma around the #coronavirus or discriminate against those that are positive for #COVID19
