Coronavirus fears grip Francistowners

FRANCISTOWN: Maxwell Keitsile, a Gerald Estates businessman has been paying careful attention to all the news about the Coronavirus since it broke out. He recalls how after the initial outbreak in South Africa, rumours began circulating of suspected cases of coronavirus in his home village of Maun.

More fear came from an article on Facebook indicating that there were two cases in Zimbabwe, a situation he says would lead to the easy spread of the disease to Botswana through the numerous illegal immigrants who cross the Ramokgwebana River.
