He said: > At least four people tested positive for Covid-19 by PCR testing which is diagnostic and this caused a lot of fear amongst staff. However, we have managed to talk to health workers and emphasise the importance of our continued commitment in the fight against coronavirus. > At the moment there is one health worker that has been sent home and others are patients who had come to the hospital. One person had come in from the community and they had come with a minor illness and ended up testing positive. Dr Ngwenya said it is difficult to trace everyone who had been in touch with the nurse and the three infected people. It is possible that one positive case may represent more than 10 infections which are yet to be discovered, Dr Ngwenya added. *More: Chronicle* itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
