The department of Health in KwaZulu-Natal has denied reports of cases of coronavirus in the province.
The Province’s Health MEC, Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu says there has been no laboratory confirmation of the virus in two patients who were isolated after exhibiting symptoms similar to the disease.
Acting Director-General of the National Department of Health Dr. Anban Pillay says no cases have been positive thus far.
“There are a number of cases that are sent to us where there’s a level of suspicion depending on presenting features but to date, we’ve not got any case that’s positive neither do we have any case that meets what we call the full case definition, an individual that has been to the area of the epicentre of this outbreak or has been on contact with people in the epicentre and is within the incubation period and thereafter presenting with symptoms.”
