does south africa need to be isolated from the rest of africa. we know the people are still flowing across the bridge border with zimbabwe, which can ill afford the kind of infection rate that south africa has today and one can argue many other neighbouring countries too. should south africa be cut off from the rest of the african continent? you know, but the problem with that expression, cut off doesn't really work, u nfortu nately. cut off doesn't really work, unfortunately. it has been tried with other infectious diseases. these infections are going to go across the borders no matter what precautions you put in. but having said that, there are precautions in place and all the land border crossings so those across from south africa to zimbabwe, and neighbouring countries, they do have to have a covid—19 tests that are negative and only if there are negative for the allowed across the border. this causes problems. big pawn shops and traffic stops, but it has beenin and traffic stops, but it has been in place for a while, still. the question of
