’Taking measures should not be about stigmatising countries, we do not want to be part of that. Covid-19 needs all of us to work together globally.’

Cape Town – As the government deliberate on how to control borders in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and its mutations, health experts say a quarantine will be more efficient than a complete ban on travel.

“The department also shared concerns that a variant could be imported and result in another wave, adding that it was for this reason that the National Coronavirus Command Council was deliberating on controlling borders,” he said. “These new variants or mutations seem to be emerging from anywhere in the world. As long as the virus is circulating within the population, the chances that you are going to have a mutant appear and begin to take over the epidemic are quite high,” he said.
