Independent News reports that according to Ekurhuleni Mayor Mzwandile Masina, the Duduza Clinic, which was shut down following a Covid-19 case, will be re-opened on Wednesday.  

The clinic was shut down by the city last week after a staff nurse tested positive for the coronavirus.  Masina's office said on Tuesday that the re-opening of the clinic follows the implementation of a range of measures.  The city had sent in two mobile clinics to help substitute the clinical services offered by the closed clinic.  The building was deep cleaned and sanitised and 55 staff members were tested for Covid-19.  Of the 55 tests, 45 came back negative and the City is still awaiting the return of 10 of remaining test results.  The staff members who have not yet received their tests results will remain in self-isolation until confirmation of their results is received.  The nurse who tested positive remains under self-quarantine and is being monitored by health officials.  The nurse had contracted the virus after she attended a church conference in Bloemfontein.  Most of the cases in the Free State have been linked to that church conference.
