Health Minister Dr Mkhize has reiterated the importance of staying at home to help to fight the coronavirus.
“The possibility of the infection spreading whilst we are on the lockdown is high if you do not stay at home. Actually, it can be self-defeating to have a lockdown but people actually continue to mingle and in the process spread the infection.”
