The sites have been used for over a month to accommodate people who are unable to quarantine and isolate at home, and for those who have been repatriated from overseas.
Staff at the quarantine facility: Gauteng health department.
The Gauteng health department has been showing off its quarantine facilities where it houses what it calls persons under investigation who are thought to have had contact with the coronavirus.
The facilities are located at Transnet’s school of rail, and the Eskom and Telkom training centres.
The pictures show comfortable rooms, with medical facilities and trained staff on standby.

The department says medical staff continually check the conditions of those accommodated here, and test them daily for the coronavirus.
There are strict protocols to prevent the spread of any potential viruses at the facility, with special bins for medical waste at every junction.
