Beware of criminals doing fake door-to-door coronavirus screening, says Netcare

Netcare has sent out a statement reminding the public to be vigilant following reports that “criminals are going to homes in various areas” and claiming to work for  Netcare or Netcare 911 and are assisting the health department by offering Covid-19 coronavirus screening.

The statement said that Netcare hospitals, Netcare 911 and Medicross medical and dental centres, are not doing door-to-door COVID-19 screening and members of the public should report anyone claiming to represent them while offering this to the police.

“Do not allow them onto your property or inside your business premises for your own safety but please alert the SAPS immediately,” Netcare said.
