Infectious disease strikes

This advice comes in the wake of  reports that an unknown highly infectious disease has been identified in South Africa. In a press release the ministry also implores people who sought medical attention in that country's province's health facilities since the same date (September 12th) to report to the nearest health facility here in Botswana.

In a press release yesterday permanent secretary Newman Kahiya advised health facilities and members of the public to "postpone seeking all non-emergency medical attention in Gauteng province until further notice".
