The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic spread to South Africa, with the first case confirmed on 5 March 2020 by Minister of Health Zweli Mkhize.[2] As of 24 March 2020[update], there were a total of 709 confirmed cases and no deaths.[1]
On 15 March, President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a national state of disaster lasting for three months if not extended or cancelled, with a partial travel ban, travel advisories, discouraging public transport, the closing of schools, and prohibiting gatherings of more than 100 people.[3]
On 23 March 2020, President Cyril Ramaphosa issued a national stay-at-home order lasting 21 days from 26 March 2020 to 16 April 2020.[4]
On 24 March North west Province reported its first 5 cases ahead of a lockdown planned to commernce on Thursday midnight.
Preparations
After the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020, an emergency operation centre was activated.[5]
Cases
March
On 1 March 2020, the first patient later confirmed with COVID-19 in South Africa, returned with his wife and 8 others from the Metropolitan City of Milan in Italy,[6] travelling via Dubai, O. R. Tambo International Airport in Kempton Park, Gauteng[7] and King Shaka International Airport in Durban to Hilton.[8] On 3 March, the patient reported with symptoms to a private general practitioner and isolated himself; the doctor isolated herself as well. On 5 March the Minister of Health, Zweli Mkhize, announced the first confirmed case, epidemiologists and clinicians from the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) were deployed to KwaZulu-Natal in response.[2][9][10] and the patient went to Grey's Hospital in Pietermaritzburg.[11]
On 7 March, it was announced that a woman from the same travel group from Italy, returning to Gauteng, also tested positive.[12]
On 11 March, 6 new cases were reported, with 1 case from the same travel group from Italy, while the other 5 cases appear unrelated having travel histories to other European countries. The first case was confirmed in the Western Cape province.[13]
On 12 March, 3 new cases were announced, including the first case in Mpumalanga province. The first local transmission and first case in the Free State province was also announced, but withdrawn later in the day by the NICD who confirmed that the case was in fact negative.[14] This brought the total cases to 16.[15][16][17]
On 15 March, the first local transmissions, not yet confirmed by government labs, were announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa.[3]
On 16 March, the first confirmed case from Limpopo province was announced.[18]
On 17 March, the first confirmed cases of local transmission were announced by government labs, 4 in Gauteng, 3 in KwaZulu-Natal, and 1 in the Western Cape.[19]
On 18 March, the first confirmed case of local transmission in Mpumalanga was announced by government labs.[20]
On 19 March, the Health Minister suggested that two thirds of the South African population could contract the virus, a prediction in line with Europe's estimates on population infection.[21]
On 20 March, the Free State province recorded seven cases, becoming the sixth of South Africa's nine provinces to be infected.[22] Of the seven cases, five were from abroad (Israel, France and Texas) who had congregated for a church gathering attended by 200 people.[23] O. R. Tambo International Airport instituted isolation of foreigner on arrival and returning them to their countries of origin.[24]
On 21 March, the confirmed number of cases reached 240 with the Eastern Cape reporting its first case, making it the seventh of the nine provinces to report a case.[25]

Repatriation
On 14 March, 114 South Africans were repatriated from Wuhan, China, and placed under observation and in quarantine at The Ranch Resort near Polokwane.[213]
Medical screening was performed prior to departure, four South Africans who were showing signs of coronavirus were left behind to mitigate risk. Only South Africans who tested negative were repatriated.
