South African Trade Minister Ebrahim Patel tested COVID-19 on Saturday, the cabinet, the fourth minister to contract the virus in Africa’s most affected country, said.
Law firm spokeswoman Phumla Williams said in a statement that 58-year-old Patel won its effects on Saturday.
“Minister Patel is in a good mood and quarantined and will continue to paint from home,” Williams said.
“Those who have been in contact with the minister are also remote and should be tested,” he added.
Four ministers and several deputies so far have a coronavirus in South Africa, which has the highest number of diagnosed infections in Africa and ranks fifth globally after the United States, Brazil, India and Russia.
On Monday, Labor Minister Thulas Nxesi, 61, and Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe, 65, were admitted to the hospital with the virus.
The fourth is the Minister of Defense, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, which has since recovered.
To date, coronavirus records in South Africa are approximately 434,200, of which at least 6,655 have died.
