#CoronavirusSA: Labour addresses concerns regarding positive case─── MARVIN NTSANE 10:50 Fri, 03 Apr 2020
The Department of Employment and Labour says they can confirm that they were approached by the Health Department during its track and trace process, following a confirmed case of an auditor who tested positive for the coronavirus.
The department says the auditor was deployed to their offices in the North West.
The department says following the alert, a list of all the officials who made contact with the auditor was shared with the Health Department for further medical assessment as required.
The Department further says they are not aware of any of its officials in its North West provincial office having tested positive for the virus.
This comes after the Public Servants Association (PSA) released a statement alleging that one of the department’s officials had tested positive and that the department acted recklessly in handling the matter earlier this week.
The department says they acted accordingly and cooperated fully with the Department of Health. The accusations that the department acted recklessly in handling the matter, are unfounded and untrue, the dapartment said.
