He is now self-isolating at his home and has urged the few individuals who have been in close contact with him over the past week to quarantine and get tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was confident that he and his wife would fully recover from the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Africa\u2019s Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said he has tested positive for Covid-19 just two days after the country\u2019s diagnosed cases topped 700,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is now self-isolating at his home and has urged the few individuals who have been in close contact with him over the past week to quarantine and get tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was confident that he and his wife would fully recover from the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement on Monday, President Cyril Ramaphosa wished the Mkhizes a \u201cspeedy\u201d recovery as he called on South Africans to remain careful and \u201cavoid a second wave of the pandemic.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
