Employment and Labour Minister Thulas Nxesi will go into self-quarantine following his release from the Steve Biko Academic Hospital, after testing positive for Covid-19 on July 17.
Nxesi was admitted to hospital on July 21.
His department has seen a few of its officials testing positive for the virus resulting in a few centres being closed temporarily.
To date South Africa has recorded 459 761 Covid-19 cases with 7 257 deaths.
Cabinet spokesperson Phumla Williams said in a statement that Nxesi would remain quarantined until he recovers.
“The Minister, together with his family, have thanked all South Africans for the well wishes during his hospitalisation. We are also grateful that Minister Nxesi is now on his way to full recovery. We take this opportunity to wish all fellow South Africans who are battling this disease well, as we also send those who have lost loved ones our sincere condolences,” she said.
