TimesLIVE reports that labour movement leader Zwelinzima Vavi has been discharged from hospital and is resting in isolation at home after having contracted Covid-19.  

Vavi, who is general secretary of the SA Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu|), wrote in a tweet on Tuesday that he would be tested again on Monday, but he remained optimistic.  “Thank you all of you for so much love and solidarity!  My wife and 7-year-old boy has shown no symptoms whatsoever,” he indicated.  Last week Thursday, Vavi announced that he had tested positive for the highly infectious virus.  He also released a video of himself in which he was sweating profusely.
