Former ANC Western Cape chairperson tests positive for COVID-19

Former ANC Western Cape chairperson, Marius Fransman, is currently in hospital after testing positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Fransman shared the news in a Facebook post last night.

“Since my return from abroad 2 weeks ago, I didn't feel too well and decided in line with health protocols and realising that this has become life's reality, to do a test last Monday.''

“After a week of waiting for my results, it is now confirmed I tested positive for the coronavirus,” he said.

Fransman said that he was doing fine and his family would also be tested.

''I am doing well under the circumstances and want to appeal to everyone to get themselves tested if you show symptoms and let’s all start practising good hygiene, adhere to the lockdown regulations, and all join in the call to flatten the curve.”

He advised anyone who came into contact with him over the last month to also get tested.
