“It is notable that there is 6 cases of local transmissions. I must inform the public that there was a debate with clinicians, epidemiologists, virologists on when we, as government must release results to the public. These experts raised an issue of an ethical obligation to immediately alert patients as soon as the results become available” said Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize.
