President Cyril Ramaphosa has declared the Ranch Resort in Limpopo a green zone, free of the coronavirus.
The resort was home to the South African students who were placed under quarantine after they were evacuated from the city of Wuhan, considered the epicentre of the covid19 outbreak in China.
"We are now able to declare the Ranch a green zone, it has been a red zone all along as we had put the students, the cabin crew of the flight that brought them, as well as the military medical officers in quarantine together with the staff that works here," he said at the Polokwane resort on Sunday.
The President said that they had gone past the 14 days of quarantine and everybody in the facility has been tested and found to be negative of coronavirus.
After the Limpopo engagement, the Presidency said Ramaphosa will return to Pretoria to chair a virtual meeting of the National Command Council that coordinates the national emergency response on Covid-19.
