The Private Office of the Executive Mayor of Johannesburg, Cllr Geoffery Makhubo has recorded its first positive case of Covid-19.
A member of staff in the Mayor’s office has tested positive for Covid-19 following a trip to the Western Cape for a funeral last week.
The said staffer is now in recovery and is self-isolating at home. The Mayor has recently tested for Covid-19 and the results came back negative.
However, as a precautionary measure, the Mayor has today undergone another Covid-19 test and has decided to place himself under self-isolation until the results are known. The entire staff complement in the Executive Mayors office has also, as a precaution, undergone tests to determine their COVID19 status..
The Office of the Executive Mayor will be operating from isolated sites as prescribed by the protocols in place to prevent the spread of covid-19.
The Mayor will continue to monitor and provide guidance on work currently being carried out to contain and manage the spread of Covid-19 in the City whilst in self-isolation.
The Mayor has wished the said staff member well during his treatment and recovery process.
