Eastern Cape sports, recreation, arts and culture MEC Fezeka Nkomonye has tested positive for Covid-19, her office announced on Friday.

Department spokesperson Andile Nduna said Nkomonye had been tested after having flu symptoms.

He said she was now in isolation at home and had informed those close to her of her results.

“She has urged all those who came in contact with her who are experiencing Covid-19 symptoms to go and test.”

He said Nkomonye would continue with her duties from home.
