Netball South Africa (NSA) president Cecilia Molokwane has tested positive for coronavirus after her visit to Europe earlier this month.
Molokwane undertook business travels between the United Kingdom and Scotland for meetings with the International Netball Federation (INF), where she serves as a board member.
The meetings were held as part of the preparations for the hosting of the 2023 Netball World Cup in Cape Town.
In a statement released by NSA, Molokwane confirmed testing positive for the virus.
“I found out this morning [Tuesday, March 24] that I have tested positive for the Corona Virus. I did these tests following my return from the UK where I was in March.
“I would also like to mention that when we returned from the UK, we were screened at the airport [OR Tambo International] and everything went well,” Molokwane said.
“I would like to take this moment to alert the general public that I am currently in quarantine and taking all the necessary precautions to make sure that I recover fully from the virus. I am not showing any symptoms however I will still take precautions to protect everyone around me and myself.
“Please take all necessary precautions, wash your hands with soap or sanitiser for at least 20 seconds, keep the required two metre social distance. This virus is real, and we need to treat it as such. If you test positive please make sure that you quarantine for the required 14 days,” said Molokwane.
