Four more people have tested positive for coronavirus in South Africa.

They were part of a group of 10 who travelled together to Italy and returned last week.

This brings the number of infected people in South Africa to seven.

Health Minister Zweli Mkhize also said that the evacuation of more than 150 South Africans from Wuhan - the Chinese city at the epicentre of the outbreak - was still on course.

Meanwhile a school in Sandton, in northern Johannesburg, has been closed for the day as a precaution following concerns that one of its teachers had contact with some of the people who recently returned from Italy.
