Coetzee, who is also board chairperson of the South African Medical Association (SAMA) and in a private practice in Pretoria, said although the situation might change, the symptoms had not been serious so far.
“This is not only my own account. I consulted with other doctors in Atteridgeville, Midrand and so on, and they’re seeing exactly what I’m seeing. The symptoms are mild, and that’s the most important message,” she said.
