South Africa To Start Door-to-door COVID19 Testing by abdullahi45(op): 7:31pm On Mar 30, 2020
In an effort to strengthen the strategy for the containment of the novel COVID19, the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, this evening has announced that 10,000 field workers will be deployed throughout the Country for door-to-door testing.

Personally, I think other Countries in sub-Subharan Africa, especially Nigeria where it appears that it is only the well-to-do people and politicians that are being tested, should take a leaf from this.

What do all think about this unprecedented South African Government's intervention?

No. South Africa is responding quite effectively, in my own opinion.

Great strategy! Get them while they're at home during the lockdown. If positive they'll still remain home under quarantine as per SA regulations but on treatment this time round.

Now you thinking Ramaphosa smiley

Yeah. But if the symptoms are severe such patients will be moved to appropriate Government hospital.

Why not? When the right thing is done it should be commended regardless of the doer.

Instead in my country, they are telling us the amount of a test kit as if a citizen life does not cost more than #10,000.

Nice move.
It is very easy to deduce a country who believe the welfare of her citizen is very important.
