PRIME Minister Dr Moeketsi Majoro is responding well to treatment in home isolation after testing positive for COVID-19 last week Wednesday, his Press Attaché, Buta Moseme has announced.

He said as soon as the PM’s 14-day home isolation is over, the nation will be notified again.

A previous statement from the PM's office had shown that Dr Majoro took PCR COVID-19 tests as part of private travel he was intending to take.

“Consequently, he moved into home isolation even though he is not experiencing any virus symptoms,'' the statement said.

It states that the PM also consulted his private doctor before taking additional tests including oxygen saturation, adding that so far, all the tests are satisfactory.
''I would like to share with the public the important messages I drew from this experience: (1) had it not been for the testing required for travel, I would not have known that I am COVID positive, (2) even if you are vaccinated, you could still get infected by coronavirus and can still spread it unknowingly, (3) being vaccinated is likely to prevent the onset of serious illness, hospitalisation and possible death from the virus, (4) being vaccinated may not prevent infection from yet unknown COVID variants.
