South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has returned to work after finishing a week of self-isolation due to testing positive for COVID-19, his office said on Monday.

Ramaphosa, who was given Johnson & Johnson's vaccine in February, has tested positive for COVID-19 on Dec. 12 and received treatment for mild symptoms." The President has returned to duty and will chair the final cabinet meeting for 2021 on Wednesday," the presidency said in a statement. 

In the past few days, a nationwide outbreak believed to be linked to the new Omicron variant of the coronavirus has been infecting more than 20,000 people a day, even though the number of new recorded infections dropped below that over the weekend.

In the statement the President further repeats his call for everyone to stay safe by being vaccinated, wearing face masks, washing or sanitizing hands frequently, maintaining a social distance and avoiding gatherings.  In a statement, the Presidency says Ramaphosa thanks all South Africans and leaders and friends internationally who conveyed their good wishes during this period.
