4 Covid-19 cases in military community
Four cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in the military community, the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) said on Wednesday.
Three of the positive tests are in the Western Cape and one in Gauteng.
The military says none of the positive tests are uniformed members or members deployed to support the police in enforcing lockdown regulations.
"All Covid-19 cases are treated and managed as per Covid-19 prescribed protocol," the SANDF said in a statement on Wednesday.
It added that all frontline workers have been issued with protective gear, including hand sanitisers and masks.
"The SANDF has also identified quarantine and isolation facilities for the military community in preparation for the envisaged overflow in military hospitals and sickbays,” it said.
