TimesLive reports that Department of Health (DOH) Health Minister Joe Phaahla on Tuesday tested positive for Covid-19 after experiencing minor symptoms.
“Minister Phaahla took tests earlier today [Tuesday] and the results came back positive and he immediately self-isolated. He will perform his official duties from home for seven days and all his planned contact meetings have been rescheduled while others [were] converted into virtual,” DOH spokesperson Foster Mohale indicated. The department said this was a reminder that the pandemic remained in existence and was infectious. This was the reason it continued to report daily Covid-19 positive cases and deaths. “Minister Phaahla has received two doses of J&J Covid-19 vaccine which he believes has boosted his immunity against the severity of the virus. The department would like to remind the public that lifting the Covid-19 restrictions doesn't mean the pandemic is over, hence vaccination services remain accessible at all times at selected sites,” Mohale advised.
