It stated that the couple was part of a group of 10 people that arrived in South Africa on March 1, 2020.

“The patient consulted a private general practitioner on March 3, with symptoms of fever, headache, malaise, a sore throat and a cough. The practice nurse took swabs and delivered it to the lab. The patient has been self-isolating since March 3, 2020.”
