#CoronavirusSA: NW reaches 8 confirmed cases  | News Article

While the number of coronavirus infections around the country has risen to 1326, the North West province has recorded two more new cases.


This brings the confirmed number of infections in the province to 8, up from 6. Health MEC, Madoda Sambatha, earlier raised concern with how patients who tested positive for Covid-19 are not adhering to the rules and regulations prescribed to them as part of the national lockdown. 

Premier Job Mokgoro previously said a 40-bed ward at the Klerksdorp Tshepong Hospital complex has been prepared as the designated hospital with an isolation center.

Mokgoro, along with the MEC for Social Development, Boitumelo Moiloa, on Monday welcomed two students back home who were part of  more than 100 South Africans repatriated from Wuhan in China. 

The students were also part of a group that completed 14 days of quarantine at the Ranch Hotel in Polokwane, Limpopo, before being seen off by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday.
