Durban - Professor Salim Abdool Karim who stepped down as co-chair of the ministerial advisory committee on Covid-19 has passed the baton to his long time friend and colleague Professor Koleka Mlisana.
Karim, an infectious diseases epidemiologist, has been at the helm of the MAC since its inception last year.
âI always knew that I would not remain on a permanent basis and gave myself a year. The year is up and now I need to shift my focus. I believe the country is in a good place and I am not worried to step back because of the faith I have in the MAC,â he said.
